Split from the Windshield Seating in SO CA.
On our last trip we noticed quite a gap between the base of the windshield and the dash. We haven't noticed any extra wind noise or shift in the windshield. However, I'm assuming this is what is referred to above (the need to re-bond the front cap to the dash)? Is this something that requires special skills or something that an RV/glass repair shop will be able to handle?

I am surprised that this wasn't caught by Greg or Rance when they were prepping for your full body paint. Could be that it has occurred since 2011? I do not believe that this is the problem on our coach as there is no gap between the dash and the windshield. The fiberglass feels very solid from the outside as well. My current theory is that the bulkhead separation in the rear was so loose that just maneuvering it over the small driveway drop off at my house was probably enough to cause the windshield to move. Or that I jacked it up and apart multiple times in my repair process, by necessity, one side at a time.

Yes, I believe it was something that happened in this past year (or few months). Xtreme replaced the PS windshield so I'm sure they would have caught that gap at the time. We also had windshield work done in 2012 and I'm sure I would have noticed it at that time; I've done work under and near the dash since then and not noticed the gap. The outside of the windshield/cap looks and feels solid and normal.
(Perhaps I should have started a new post; I don't think this is the same issue you are having and we're in the PNW this summer. :-[ )
Probably worth a new thread to get it seen by more eyes... However, if you find competent windshield people up there, I would be interested in that as well now that I have have killed the godawful noise for the time being. We will be up in the Pacific Northwest some time next year on the way back from Canada (before the cold strikes!).
