DUAL PANE WINDOW SEALS RUPTURE AND DUAL PANE WINDOWS BECOME FOGGY AND STAINED MAKING VISIBILTY TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE. ESPECIALLY CAN'T SEE YOUR MIRRORS. ACCORDING TO FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FLEETWOOD PRODUCTS.

THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.
ALL SE-GI MADE WINDOWS FOGGING UP MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS; VERY HARD TO SEE.
OUR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS SO FOGGED THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR US TO DRIVE IT .OTHERS HAVE THE FOG AS WELL, I AM JUST DISGUSTED WITH THE FACT IT IS NOW SO DANGEROUS. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER WEBSITES THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE WINDOWS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WITH THE PRICE OF THESE RV'S HOW FLEETWOOD WOULD CONTINUE TO USE SUCH DEFECTIVE WINDOWS AND ACTUALLY THINK THE PUBLIC WILL RETURN TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FLEETWOOD PRODUCT. *TR
