A connector element for a flashing assembly for use in a roof window arrangement is disclosed. The exterior side of the connector element comprises a gutter with two longitudinal edges configured for engagement with an engagement section of a flashing member. A connecting section is configured for being connected to a bracket used for connecting a roof window to a load-bearing structure of the roof structure. The connector element is configured for being arranged with a first end at an outer side of a bottom frame member of a first roof window and a second end at a second roof window. At least one attachment element is provided on an end surface at the second end, said attachment element being adapted for engagement with a supporting element of a flashing assembly. A method for weather proofing a roof window arrangement is also disclosed.

A system for diverting fluids consisting essentially of a wedge installed on a surface. The wedge is preferably triangular in area, but may be in the form of other shapes as required by the application. When viewed from the side, the wedge will often have a triangular shape because the front edge of the wedge is substantially lower than the rear edge, corner, or other shape to induce fluids and other materials to run off the sloped surface of the wedge. The system may include an adhesive to join the wedge and the surface. It may also include a sealing material disposed over the wedge and the surface to prevent incursion of fluids and other materials between the wedge and the surface.
