BOTH FRONT WINDSHIELDS PARTIALLY POPPED OUT OF THEIR FRAME LEAVING OPEN GAPS BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELDS AND THE GASKET ALLOWING WIND AND WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD (OR FORTH) SUCH OCCURRENCE SINCE I PURCHASED THE RV IN 2000. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN VERY HOT WEATHER. REPAIR PERSONNEL AT RV GLASS REPLACEMENT ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE MENTIONED THAT THE OPENING FOR THE FRONT WINDSHIELDS DOES NOT PRECISELY FIT THE FLEETWOOD SUPPLIED WINDSHIELDS AND GASKET. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE EXPANSION/CONTRACTION OF THE GLASS OR THE SOFTENING OF GASKET MATERIALS UNDER HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS, A MANUFACTURING FLAW IN THE WINDSHIELD OPENING, THE FLEXING WINDOW OPENING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, OR SOME COMBINATION OF ALL OF THESE. *TR
