Motorhome side window leak

I am guessing that the answer to 2 will depend on the type of sealant used. I found I could peel most of mine off using my thumb and fingers and finally clean up with white spirit. Perhaps my windows are of a different make to yours but the rubber seal can simply be pushed into its recess with no need for a dab of sealant. I use Sikaflex 512. I think there is also a marine version available. I bought it once from a chandlery and thought it a better product but it is more expensive than the normal 512.

Thanks peedee for your reply. My rubber seals fits on both the inside and outside (its U-shaped) and had some form of white adhesive holding it inplace in addition to metal staples all the way around. The adhesive was really difficult to get off - unfortunatley unable to peel it. I have used marine sikaflex before on a boat. It is super but really difficult to ever get off again if you have to work on it 

I finally went for a replacement butyl tape, removed the rubber surround and cleaned it out with white spirits - a very slow and messy job. I suspect it would be easier to replace the rubber surround rather than clean the old butyl adhesive from the existiing one. It would save a considerable amount of time but would cost an extra £300 in material if i do all the side windows as a preventive measure.
