Damon Escaper Windshield Issues

I have a 2000 Damon Escaper that sometimes will pop the windshield at the top outside corners. I have broken 1 windshield and had it replaced. The only thing I can think is that there is some bracing issues under the front cap but can't verify that. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any ideas!!

    The same thing happened to ours about a year ago. I was told that sometimes the manufacturer cuts the opening for the windshield a little bit to large. I was also told to keep that from happening again I needed to be more careful when leveling so that the frame doesn't flex.

    Now when I level, I plant all 4 jacks firmly on the ground with just enough pressure to slightly feel the coach move. Then I raise the coach with whichever pair of jacks is needed to get the coach level.

    This seems to be keeping the frame from flexing, because I haven't had an issue with the windshield since I started leveling this way.
