The Goshen Rally---Day 14

Rolled out of bed early this morning to get the coach unhooked and get on the road to Elkhart to the service center. On our way to Indiana we were experiencing major wind noise coming in through the top corner of the windshield on the driver's side. We had our windshield replaced in late 2007. At that time we had some wind noise from this same place. Last year we took it back to the folks who put the windshield in to have them reseal it on that corner. That seemed to solve the problem until we started out on this trip. The noise first started over in Arkansas and progressively got worse. By the time we arrived in Goshen the noise was so loud it was giving me a headache.

During the rally we had talked to the Techs who were there and they wanted us to bring it to their shop so they could work on it on a level surface. After inspection they found the entire seal across the top had never been set right and the entire top of the windshield had popped out. It is amazing, with all the rain we've been through, that it has not leaked water. Anyway they reset the windshield but now the coach cannot be moved for 24 hours while the sealant "cures". So we will be sitting here until around 2:30 pm tomorrow. That will give us a late start for home but we had planned to spend two nights on the road anyway. As long as we get home by Monday we'll be okay since Jo has to take her mom to doctor's appointments on Tuesday.
