NHTSA Complaint #10778009 — 2004 DAMON CHALLENGER

WINDSHIELD POPPING OUT OF RUBBER GASKET WE BOUGHT THE 2004 DAMON MOTORHOME NEW AND HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH WATER LEAKING AROUND THE WINDSHIELD RUBBER GASKET. IN THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD POP OUT OF THE RUBBER GASKET CAUSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER TO COME IN DURING RAIN STORMS. WE SEALED THE WINDSHIELD THE BEST WE COULD TO KEEP OUT THE RAIN BUT THE GLASS WAS COMING OUT FURTHER AND FURTHER. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REMOVED THE WINDSHIELDS AND CLEANED THE RUBBER GASKET. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS USE THE WINDSHIELD POPPED OUT AGAIN ON THE TOP. THE DEALER THEN DECIDED THE COACH NEEDED A NEW RUBBER GASKET. THE DEALER THEN WENT REPLACED THE GASKET AND RE-INSTALLED THE WINDSHIELDS. AFTER A WEEK OF USE THE TOP OF THE GLASS WAS POPPED OUT OF THE NEW RUBBER GASKET. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO KNOW. THE DAMON COMPANY NOW THOR MOTOR COACH, PO BOX 1486 ELKHART, INDIANA 46515 SHOULD BE MAKING A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT IS HAPPENING ON MANY OF THE OLDER DAMON MODELS FROM 2002 - 2009
