    I hate the location of my fuse panel. It’s convenient when accessing it, but it’s in the way of stretching my right leg. That’s the only real complaint I have about the FLDs/Classics. I recall a friend of mine complaining about the fuses on his 379 getting rusty from leaky windshield. They were tucked into the left Drivers kick panel. Same place my windshield leaks. Guess I shouldn’t complain.

    There is nothing to seal the window, only a rubber band between the windshield and the frame.

    You can always try and apply silicone but it will be painfull when it's time to raplace the windshield because it's cracked :p

    I think the reason I don't have much windshield leakage issues is because when I have one replaced I have it done at home in the summer and it sits a few days with the cab closed up .

    Every time I wash my Cascadia water runs down the inside of the windshield. It’s not very bad, but I’m hoping once I get it replaced it fixes it.

    I've had three in a year and a half.

    2018- windshield leak at the bottom and passenger window leak.

    2020- bottom windshield leak.

    Now I'm in a 2021. No leaks but headlights overheat and the bulbs burn out.
