I am a little late to post this but we are all sealed up.

Even with driving in the pouring rain we had last Thursday we were dry.

I looked at the linked site, didn't find "windshield seal replacement", but seriously doubt it would relate much to a modern Winnebago. As the above discussion indicates in both words and pictures, Winnebago windshield leaks occur due to rusted metal on the frame the glass is glued into. The rubber is just an external weatherstrip, and not attached like the windshield rubber on any car I have ever seen. Removing/replacing the rubber would not take any special instruction or tools.

My '84 Jeep CJ7 uses a rubber windshield seal as it has flat glass, but beyond that, you don't see rubber seals much anymore on windshields. Today, most windshields are a structural component of a vehicle.That being said, the install guy that fixed mine said some older MH's do have a rubber seal.

And replacing glass with a rubber seal is not easy, an install guy broke the new glass in my jeep while replacing it, had to reorder.
