WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-95 IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, THE CLOSED VENT WINDOW, ON THE BODY OF THE MOTOR HOME DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER'S DOOR, HAD AN APPARENT ADHESIVE FAILURE WHERE THE WINDOW ATTACHES TO THE CRANK MECHANISM AND BLEW OFF THE MOTOR HOME. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE PATH OF THE WINDOW WHICH SHATTERED ON THE INTERSTATE. SERIOUS INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS WINDOW FAILURE.
