2. Remove old caulking from the window. You don't have to remove all of the old caulking material, just some around the edges near the leak, especially if it is already starting to wear off. Peel off the material slowly with a razor blade, making sure you don't cut yourself, scratch the paint or cut into the fiberglass siding.
6. Let the caulk dry for 24 hours, then remove the tape. You should border the tape about 1/8 of an inch away from the edge of the window frame.
