Mine is at the factory getting repaired. My windshields started to droop down allowing a leak at the top. They pulled the windshields and found that the wood that was below the windshield, supporting the windshields and keeping the shape of the front cap, had rotted away (not surprising because the wood was not sealed prior to installation). This allowed the fiberglass section of the front cap, just above the genny hood to droop about 3/4", the genny door was touching the upper section at the middle and was fine on the outer edges. I was present as we jacked up the fiberglass section to see if we could get it back in place, which went easily.
So all the wood is being replaced (and resin sealed prior to installation) now and the cap is being jacked up before fiberglassing/screwing the wood in to lock in the shape of the cap. A lot of labor but I'm glad I came to where she was created and have guys working on her that worked on her originally.
