Hi Doug.  Had a simlar problem at the pivot point on our windows as
well.  I put a dab of clear silicone in the rubber well surrounding
the pivot joint when the window is sealed shut.  You can open the
window after the silicone cures and it seems to seal well.  Did this
many years ago, and it still works :)  Just fill up the well flush
with the top of the rubber.

Hope this helps
Harry.
