New fridge in but now rusted windshield in 2012

Thanks to all the help we had from this site we installed a Samsung RF197 fridge in our Winnebago Adventurer 35P with no problem.
Now we have a leak in our windshield. Took it to the dealer and they say the brackets that hold the windshield are rusted. How does that happen in a less than 2 year old RV. It had to be leaking before we bought it to rust out. It didn't leak inside until this Feb. We had called Winnebago before we bought this unit and asked about windshield leaks we were told "there isn't a problem with windshields ". So the lie goes on!! Anyone else with an Adventurer have leak problems? We will be calling Winnebago after we get our rig back from the dealer. They are taking pictures for us so we will see what happens but I bet they will not do anything.
  • Seen a couple of Journeys in for the same windshield service at Camping World last year. Windshields were pulled out so rust could be cleaned out, metal coated and sealed before windshields were reinstalled.
  • It's been a known issue for years. Had to have my whole lower windshield frame replaced by cutting out rusted metal and welding in new material and grinding and sealing with POR. Cost me 2800 with 2 new windshields as mine were cracked
