The windshields come loose from the twisting and flexing of the body while driving and using the leveling jacks.
A few years ago the windshields on our 96 Southwind were coming out, there were small gaps between the glass and body.
A local RV dealer recommended an auto glass shop in the area.
I took it to the glass shop and they removed both windshields.
The tech told me the glass was not installed properly at the factory, they did not use enough sealant.
Both windshields were reinstalled, using the original rubber gasket and, enough sealant.
I have had no problems since they were resealed.
Don't let them just caulk or add more sealant. Do it right the first time.
