Rain sneaking in around my window—caulk or weather stripping?

Had something similar happen a few years back—spent ages sealing around the window only to find out the water was actually sneaking in from higher up behind some loose trim. Definitely worth checking above the window first, water loves playing hide-and-seek...

Couldn't agree more. Had a similar puzzle myself last spring—thought I'd fixed it by caulking around the frame, but nope, still leaking. Eventually climbed up and found a tiny crack in the siding way above the window. Water was trickling down behind the siding and popping out around the window trim. So yeah, start higher up and work your way down... might save you some frustration and caulk!
