THE DAMON MOTORHOME HAS A TWO PIECE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM AS THE UNIT GET OLDER THE WINDSHIELD WILL UNEXPECTEDLY POP OUT OF THE RUBBER SEAL. IT SEEMS AS IF THE FLEXING OF THE FRONT CAP CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD TO POP OUT OF THE RUBBER SEAL AT THE TOP IN SOME CASES TO 1 INCH, 6-8 INCHES IN LENGTH. THIS CREATES A PROBLEM WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND IT POPS OUT. IT ALLOWS WATER TO COME IN AND MAKE YOU WONDER IF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WILL FALL OUT OR WORSE BLOW IN ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THE MANUFACTURER, THOR WILL NOT HONOR THE PROBLEM AND BLOW IT OFF. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ON ALL MODELS WITH TWO PIECE WINDSHIELDS.
