2015 Challenger windshield

[RVredneck]

Has anyone else had issues with their windshields popping out and not fitting correctly??

Wow that's bad. About 1500 mile on ours so far and no problems I can see. Give us more details so we all know what to look for.

Give your windshield a push. If it starts to fall out....you've got a problem.

I had a similar problem on an older Fleetwood with the two windshield "H" gasket design. I used to go to the desert a lot and the coach often times saw a fair amount of twist. One time both windshields popped out of the "H" gasket at the top outer corners. Ended up having to get the "H" gasket bonded to the cap and the windshields bonded to the "H" gasket. Never had a problem after that. My friend also had a similar issue with his Monaco DP.

It was free!!! Coach is only week old. Somebody at factory forgot to glue it in properly. Got a extra week in Sarasota out of the deal!!

In particular, 2013 various Thor coach models were having their windshields pop out when they went to use the Auto Leveling feature.

However, when all the coach manufacturers switched over to the one-piece windshields you could find various posts of leaking windshields:

- Windshields popping out if you slammed the entry door too fast,.
- Improperly trimmed endcaps, (gaps where the windshield should mount).
- Mysterious cracks appearing, simply driving down the road, (a sharp metal contact point at the window's edge).
- Insufficient sealant for those that are "glued" in place.
- Very bad window gasket designs for those that tried that method.

I just drove my 2015 Tuscany XTE for the 1st time yesterday on the way to the repair facility & the wind noise from the windshield was almost unbearable. My windshield & the rubber around it looks just like yours in the pictures. It was #1 on my list of things needing attention since taking delivery 7 weeks ago. Glad for you Thor stepped up & took care of it right away. Hope we can get it resolved too.

This is view from the top. You can see the gap. Ours is at the dealer. And they figure the front cap was installed crooked. They are going to remove windshield again and try to adjust it.

It's common across all brands and models of Class A motorhomes with one-piece windshields. It's a little less common with those bonded into place with adhesive, (like a car), as opposed to those that used gaskets and rubber moldings, (the earlier designs by many manufacturers).

With the "new" big one piece windows you really don't know if they are installed properly, (if the adhesive has fully cured at every inch of the perimeter), until it has withstood hundreds of miles of road bumps, shakes, vibration, sudden stops, many automatic leveling cycles, and entry-door slamming air pressure surges.
