Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ALONG ON A US HWY THE WINDSHIELD CAME OUT OF THE RUBBER MOLDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR 1999 36' BOUNDER MOTORHOME. I USED DUCT TAPE TO CLOSE THE RESULTING GAP AND DROVE HOME TO COLORADO. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MOTOR HOME, FLEETWOOD AND THEY RESPONDED WITH " THIS CONCERN CAN OCCUR FROM TIME TO TIME ON MOTOR HOMES, DUE TO MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS ROAD CONDITIONS, WEATHER, WEAR & TEAR OF THE GASKET, ETC." I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THIS UNIT HAS ONLY 28000 MILES AND I BELIEVE THIS CONDITION TO BE DANGEROUS. IF THE WINDSHIELD WERE TO COMPLETELY SEPARATE AND FALL OUT, IT WOULD EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE THE IMMEDIATE RESULT. *NLM
