How to properly flash this window?
Hi! So I am almost complete with my finish basement project. Only major thing I have left to do is replace this window. Before completing the basement, occasionally the window would leak after heavy rain. We realized it was because the rain from the siding would drop onto the ledge of the window molding and leak into the basement due to poor caulking. I added the little flashing beige flashing which was recommended from an earlier post. Now it's coming time to put a new window in and I would like to make sure it is correctly installed so water does not come in. Ideas? Thanks in advance!

Basically, you need a drip edge & the proper molding. If the window well fills with water, you need a surface collector & a dry well.
