Hi Safarirat,
Really sorry to hear about your windshield problems. I also have a 2007 Safari Simba that suffered from the cracked windshields for the first year I had it. At that time, 2008, I brought the unit down to the Monaco plant in Coburg Oregon and they put in the fixes. If I remember correctly, they put in a whole new metal frame around the windshield that was substantially larger material (rectangular steel tubing). It was large enough that they had to replace the plastic trim covers that run down the side of the windshield. Since then I have not had any issues but I"m very careful about using the levelers in uneven ground because that is when I had experienced the original windshield cracks.
I"m wondering if it's worth calling over to Monaco to see if they have the old service records for that fix. They may have hung onto records that related to recalls.
Good luck.
