Some windows have drain slots in the bottom of the outside of the frame. Check that they are not clogged.
 
The varnished teak trim/cover strip immediately below the windows makes me wonder if GB routed it elsewhere. My IG36`s wooden windows had internal drains set into the wood with a copper drain tube which exited below the windows, I`m not seeing that. Someone had tried clearing the tube with an electric drill, the resulting hole sent the water into the timber paneling.
 
It look like there are drains in the frames, en window rubbers. On the outside it looks like the been caulking it, i cut a smal piece open under the drain end after some time i found out i can get whit a ziptie from the outide to the inside to the frame. Is this is normal i cant find any information of this type of window frame’s.
