ODI #10461482

Incident: March 24, 2009 · Filed: June 13, 2012

IN 2009, WE DISCOVERED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ONTO THE DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY APPLIED SILICONE AND APPARENTLY STOPPED THE LEAK TEMPORARILY. NOW AGAIN, IN 2012 THE WINDSHIELD HAS STARTED LEAKING AGAIN AND IT APPEARS THAT THE FRAME THE WINDSHIELD SETS IN IS RUSTED. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING, THAT IF THIS IS NOT FIXED THE WINDSHIELD COULD POP OUT AND RESULT IN AN INCIDENT THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IN ADDITION, MANY OWNERS OF EITHER WINNEBAGO'S OR ITASCA'S (MADE BY WINNEBAGO) INDICATE THAT RUST IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE FRAMES THAT THE WINDSHIELD SETS IN ON WINNEBAGO'S MOTORHOMES. *TR
