Replace that bottom piece and caulk it up.

If necessary use a little vinyl filler or bondo.

Man, the window is fine. Just pull the stop off, replace it and caulk and paint it. Mountain / molehill deal.

I’m a big fan of repair.

But you have to address the issue of why it’s rotting. Changes are condensation is happening because that vent.
