Thw window above the sink is letting rain in, question, do I have to remove the existing seal around the window, or can I put the Sica Flex straight over it?
Now be kind, this is the first time doing this, -Fran

You could clean it and put silicon over the seal.... But if it's a opening window it would be better to source exactly where the leak is coming in and repair it or re seal it.
Try closing the window and get someone to spray it with the garden hose while your inside and see exactly where the water is coming in,then you can work out if it's a rubber seal issue or just the window frame needing sealing/silicon :)

ok, sprayed the window, no water coming in, seems it only happens if its heavy rain, or raining for a few days? Has anyone experienced this? Could the water be coming in from somewhere else? - Fran

Sliding windows, these overflow inwards when the drain holes block up. Check underneath outside, there should be several longitudinal slot holes visible, make sure they are not blocked up.
