Windshield keeps popping out
We have a 2006 33h class a motorhome. We have had it put back in like 8 times and it keeps popping out. Does anyone know if this problem can be fix and by whom?

We have a 96 Southwind. About six years ago I noticed the drivers windshield was pulling loose.
I took it to a glass shop recommended by a local RV dealer.
The glass shop removed both windshields, used the original gaskets and reseated both windshields.
The techs said the glass was not installed properly from the factory. They didn't use enough sealant when they were originally installed.
Sufficient sealant was used when they were reinstalled.
I've had no problems since the windshields were reset.
The techs also said the opening for the windshields was cut slightly larger than necessary when the Southwind was built.
Possibly that's part of your problem.
The bottom line is, you need someone that knows what they're doing.
Check with several RV dealers and see who they recommend for glass work. Or contact several glass shops, if they can't do it they probably know someone who can do it properly.
It cost $300 six years ago. To me it was well worth it, I've had no problems or leaks since.
I still have the Southwind. :)
