Windshield mounting not square
Newmar Mountain Aire 2000
Storage area tilts toward right side and toward back. One day, leveling the coach I heard a load bang and discovered a massive crack in the upper left corner of the driver side windshield. Then discovered a broken wire on the right front leveling jack solenoid!!! Apparently trying to lift up the right side, only the right rear jack lifted. Now the new window won't mount because the frame is a trapezoid not a rectangle with the bottom/top square and the sides tilted over an inch toward the passenger side. The rest of the coach is currently level and square. Windshields are out since they can't be mounted as is.
With a padded bar between the high side of the driver's door and as close to the top of the windshield opening as I could get because of the cabinets and a come-along, I tried pulling the left side out. It temporarily straightened the driver side edge between the bottom of the window and the position of the bar, but did not affect the area above the bar or the passenger side.
Simple ideas like pulling/pushing the corners from inside won't work because the dash and cabinets are in the way. Can't see the actual frame because of dash/cabinets/wallboard, etc.
Thoughts include trying to find the top passenger side frame corner from outside, inserting large screw eye and pulling that. (Fix the hole later.) Or, slowly lowering the left front jack to reverse the process that caused the problem.
Anyone seen/fixed this issue?
