I put Narroline vinyl clad windows on my home while renovating it, in the 1980s. Most of the exposed ends of the sill plates seem okay, but I am going to put some exterior paint on them to try to keep them that way. However, the windows on the south facing side which get direct sunlight, and most of the rain are in bad shape. This weeks project during this quarantine is to look close at them, and try to figure out how deep the decay is, how to remove as much as possible without disturbing the vinyl cladding, and how to seal it up. It might involve removing a few pieces of vinyl siding off the wall to get better access. I will follow this thread. thanks. It is good to know that I am not the only one with this issue
