Check and make sure your toilet window latches are tight. I had the same issue with my 300da turned out it was my bottom latch for the window was a little loose.

Lift up the upper step and remove your waste basket. You can then see in that area under the steps and you are likely to find your sump box (under the waste basket) is overflowing. This sump handles all drain water from your air-conditioning condensate line and your shower. The bilge pump inside the drain box is the likely culprit and may not be working. Remove the plastic cover from the drain box and you gain access to the sump pump. This is what you will find:

I agree with Dave S. I have a small leak in my head window (which is killing me because I can see it leak but can't figure out how to stop it) and the water ends up in the cavity shown above. When there is too much water in there it will weep onto the carpet and end up wet right where yours is. We had 4 days of heavy rain and I had the same thing last weekend. Not as bad but it was slightly wet. Used a shop vac to suck all the ater out then a hair dryer to dry the carpet.

I did see that, Under the waster basket. Also it has a little bit of water, but not in the box. Not enought of water to start the pump. i will open the box and put some water see if the pump works. I will use a hose to spray water in both Windows... i will let you know ! you guys are very helpfull !! thanks again

Pour some water down the shower drain too.
Water around the box could come from a leaking shower drain hose. I must say though, I've read a lot of threads that point toward that window when water ends up near the sump box.

Also check to see if the screws around the trim of the portholes are tight. It's not just decorative trim, it also clamps the inner and outer frame of the porthole together, forming a seal against the fibreglass.

Here is a picture of the window clamps. Notice there is a small black set screw to the right of the stainless screw. Those black set screws are what holds the window tight against the out side window gasket. They tend to loosen up over time. When you do tighten them, do so with the window clamp in the open position.



Also a quick way to test your shower sump is to pour water down your shower drain. This will at least save you from having to remove the cover from the sump box to see if the pump is working properly.

My leak seems be coming from the window gasket and the bottom middle of the window. The gasket seems fine and my clamps are adjusted but water still leaks in. It seems to come in through the gasket but actually you can see the water come from the screw that holds the clamp on. Like I said, I've tried numerous things and can't stop the leak.
