Hi Guys
You may recall that when we purchased our RV from Lazydays, they had to fit a new half-windshield to the RV (there was a chip in the original).
Well, we have driven for the last 7 months with a "wind noise" which we couldnt identify - Ann-Marie couldnt pinpoint where it was and I was always driving.
We put it down to "one of those things" that you get with an RV.
However, whilst travelling across South Dakota last week, we pulled into a scenic viewpoint perched high above the road (perhaps thats why it was scenic? ;D).
The wind was really strong and we noticed the noise again.
This time I was able to locate the source to the "new" windshield. On closer inspection, I found the whole right side of the windshield was loose - you could push it out a good 1/4 inch without too much pressure.
The black sealant was there (although very patchy) but the windshield wasn't attached to any of it.
We've contacted Fleetwood who advised to get it looked at by a dealer.
My question (finally) is :-
What are the likely options for the windshield ?
Can it be removed and cleaned properly before being refitted or should it be a new windhield.
Is there anything I need to watch out for (other than checking it is sealed this time)
Thanks again !!
Paul
