Can this prevent water from coming in through spaces between the frame and hinged window?

It absolutely will if you apply it prior to rain. I have single paned 1920's windows with gaps at every angle, but also where the rope and pulley insert (man does that blow in wind like no other).I recommend cleaning the area well, let it try 100% and even using a hair dryer or heat to improve the initial adhesion process. Perhaps use the tape on interior and exterior to prevent rust or wood breakdown in the hinge area. I have had it applied for 2 seasons now going into my 3rd and its holding up just fine. Basically invisible is a nice feature. This product in addition to window wraps has saved my about $200 a month in cold months, and $350 during freeze months.... best money I have ever spent online!

It depends on where and how you apply this but generally speaking, no. This is intended to only be a temporary, seasonal repair.

I don't know about preventing water. I have found that it works well on blocking drafts.

My window is metal also and not very wide. I figure as long as the top part of the window can fit between the brace its secure. I put a stick between the top of window sill and window so it can't open any further

I have used bubble wrap over my in window airconditioners for several years. And also over draftyl windows. It is a good insulator and the the drafts do not get through - Dot

I would suppose it would stick there and prevents the window from opening further.

No not really. Most of that stays below the window on the canvas. The window on the flap is mesh and stops most stuff from going through.

It depends on whether the water guage window is plastic or glass and I can't tell. The lid is not removable.

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

This is a good option for garage doors. I wouldn't use it on windows because you couldn't see out. The good old stand-by for leaking windows (besides moving) was clear heavy plastic, which comes in rolls at your hardware store, and either taping or stapling it over the window frame included. The other if you are handy is to make a wooden strip frame for the clear plastic and make a sort of makeshift "storm window" that you can insert inside the window frame. Then you can caulk around the frame to eliminate drafts coming in that way. Years ago when we lived in houses that didn't have the excellent insulated windows we now have, this is how we eliminated cold and drafts from windows. Especially, if we were short on money.

Sure. You could use as big of a window as you like if you are willing to make a cover for what the spacer doesn't cover.

No there should not be water. It is possible that the glass is allow rain water to get inside.

Absolutely no, but it's very easy to avoid the water coming in, I just cover the vent with duck tape and problem solved!

Anything you can do to block the gaps around your garage door like this product does on the bottom will help at least to minimize the draft coming in. Certainly prevents water from coming in.

Not as such....... The sides are vented slats to give some air circulation to what's inside. They are like venetian blinds in that they all angle downward so water falling from above will not get inside. Only "up-blown" water could get inside realistically. It is well built and sturdy. I did add a wooden "D" shaped handle to the top front edge to make it easier to lift the top.

No. The hinged top prevents it from being airtight, not just along the hinge, but also at the sides where the hinges end.

Yes but it is supposed that should get down with the glass, but due the width of the clip that holds the courtain on the glass, sometimes it got stuck in upper part of the window when you open it.

I made a plywood frame and mounted the fan in the frame. I can completly open and close the window whenever It rains

Yes that's the type of windows I have...just screw them on the left or right side and it will prevent the window from going up.
