VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
Driving when I heard a loud whisling, I check the driver side window but it was closed. I open and closed to ensure it wasn't the driver's side window. I pulled over at the next rest area and found the windshield has slipped out of the gasket. I drove very slow on the access road to get home. I called SW Mobile RV Inc Levy Loza 210-508-6015). He placed silicone around the windshield to keep the wind out so I could drive a short distance to a RV repair company. Mr. Loza stated if I continue to drive the windshield will fall out for there is nothing holding it in place except the gasket itself. The gasket came loose from the front cap; this will continue to happened until Jayco fixes the issue with the windshield. He advised I need to contact Jayco. I contacted Jayco dealership service department (Explore USA RV Supercenter 28970 IH-10 West Boerne, TX 78006 1-830-981-5618); the inquired about the chassis, I told them it was on a Ford 53 chassis, I was then told to contact Ford.
