Got a couple different types but one common problem is rain runs down the wall and ruins the floor. Anyone have ideas or suggestions to modify and keep the rain out?

What I had to do to keep some plywood walled blinds dry ( and it would work for fiberglass), was to make some small awnings (for lack of a better word) out of roofing tin. Cut them to the necessary length (window width). Bent them longways into an L shape. Mounted them above the windows with screws through the walls into 2x2’s, and I used a construction type black glue/cement in addition to the screws. No rain problem since. Took me a long time to figure out how to make good rain diverters.
You will need an assistant and some air driven tin snips.

You will need an assistant and some air driven tin snips. I have these over all my blind windows and doors. Works well except for with a wind driven rain.
