Should the gap above the metal drip edge at the top of the window also
be caulked?
Windows should be caulked for air infiltration, and caulked on the
inside. It is usually inadvisable to caulk windows on the outside,
because it traps moisture around the frame and causes rot. The
exception is if wind drives rain directly against the house, like the
windward side next to the ocean.
