more leaking windows

I read the previous posts.  The leaks in my windows seem to be coming in between the window and the liner.  Water does not drip from the window down to the bunk.  It runs along the inside of the liner and drips a little along the hull under the window but most runs aft and drips out near the hatch.  The gaskets are in good shape and I have used Vasoline.  Any hints on how to attack this problem?  Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's the window? If something uphill from the window leaks, it can run inside the liner and you think you have a window leak, but in fact it's the handrail or something above.

If it's the window, that probably means it needs to come out and be rebedded.
