Um let me think ... tap ...tap ...tap!

If the window is installed correctly, the weep holes are on the bottom
of the window.

of the window.
And they drip ONTO the sill (which slopes away from the window) - NOT
behindthe sill -for what wouldappear to be VERY obvious reasons.

Please post a stand-back wider photo view for some perspective. I see
the "drain" but need more.

My feeling is that these windows were not installed correctly. My
feeling is that there should be room for a bead of caulk between
the bottom of the vinyl window and the brick.

It depends.Â* Do you want to collect condensation or drain it?

If you are north of the equator, you'll prolly want the "drain" holes on the bottom.Â* South of the equator, the sills and windows are reversed.
