Hi,
My windows installed flushed against stucco wall and does not have gutter above or overhang. When there is heavy rain, especially with string wind, I see the dripping from the top of the window from the inside the house. So far I seal around the window with silicon but did not help. I can't figure out how the water gets into the house. Can water absorbed thru the stucco and get into the house? What can I do to diagnose this? What type of contractor should I look for (window, general contractor, or roof)? I'll update the post with pictures later on.
Thanks,
Ted

Yes, Stucco is not intended to be waterproof and the window "fin" should be UNDER the stucco and building paper. A class action has been filed in California regarding replacement windows with such a "flush fin." They will leak because water will get past the stucco.
