The warranty could be irrelevant, if it's a known issue with these windows it should be covered regardless - perhaps do a good search of the internet and see if you can find anyone else with faulty windows like that, the more info you have the more ammo to use to get it fixed FOC.Apparently this isn’t covered by warranty, told it expired after 2 years. More cracks have since appeared , so now waiting for the cost. Bearing in mind the dealer charges £120/hr this is going to hurt.

Trouble is it'd have to have been pebble dashed for that amount of cracking!Stone damage will be covered under windscreen insurance cover, just saying.![]()
Covers all windows if you have a proper Motorhome policy.Unfortunately its not the windscreen.

Your policy should cover glass and other windows.Unfortunately its not the windscreen.
All " glass" is covered on policies here whatever they are made of.Unfortunately its not the windscreen.
Unless you are with LV which states glass only I believe.Your policy should cover glass and other windows.

Hopefully anyone buying a MH insurance policy would check the small print ... I do.Unless you are with LV which states glass only I believe.

A lot of plastics are very susceptible to alcohol cleaners. In the case of polycarbonate eye protectors a single clean with an alcohol cleaner can reduce the impact protection by half.Had an interesting reply direct from the Malibu factory yesterday telling me that the cracks are likely to have been caused by the alcohol in the cleaning products. Apparently it has affected the plasticisers in the skylight and caused the cracks. We use Autoglym products and they do contain alcohol, but I’m very sceptical.

Must of the UV would be absorbed by the outside pane and if not UV protected they would tend to yellow.I have stress cracks in the same window on my Hobby. They are only on the inner of the two panes. I wonder if the inner pane isn't uv protectec and jarring over potholes has caused it.
Can you remember the thing about people putting stickers on polycarbonate motorcycle helmets and making them unsafe. As you say dodgy with a lot of plastics and solvents. When you think about it making a material thats transparent and flexible isn't the easiest thing!I think I believe them about alcohol doing damage to it, acrylic is very finicky stuff, anyone remember the old pink windowlean that used to do a superb job of destroying perspex & acrylic.
Always makes me cringe when people use products like T cut to get scratches out of their windows lightly to do more damage than good.
