What happens here

Apply pan flashing to the bottom of the window opening. This flashing should be cut to extend 6 inches or more up the side of the opening, and extend horizontally by at least 2 inches beyond the rough opening on each side. Ensure that the pan flashing (such as Vycor Plus, an asphalt-based flashing tape) overlaps with the WRB at least 2 inches to ensure proper drainage. The video notes that some manufacturers might require butyl tape instead of asphalt tape.

Goal: Create a waterproof pan at the bottom of the window opening to shed water.
