RUN,
I replaced both windshields and ultimately the rubber seal around both... or should I say I paid someone to do it. It's a long boring story, but after the replacement I discover that one of the windshields was defective (de-laminating), and the upper left corner of the gasket kept popping out. this caused it to leak when it rained.
The defective windshield was replace under warranty. The installer determined that the old rubber seal was defective and that's why it kept popping out. It was visibly distorted up in that left corner. I opted to replace it, paid for out of my pocket. $425.
The glass and rubber gaskets were sourced through Duncan Systems Glass. A local auto/RV glass repair shop did the work. Replacing the rubber gasket did the trick. I've had no more popping out issues, and it is water tight.
Now... after going through all those cycles, last summer on a trip down to south Texas, the compartment door in front of the driver's side wheel flew open while going down the road. I was on a deserted road so I immediately pulled over to the shoulder. Well the shoulder was a lot more uneven than it looked, and as soon as the front wheel rolled off the road onto the gravel shoulder, the right windshield cracked!
Oh well... that's the nature of these things. I'll wait until it gets a little more beat up then I'll replace it again.
