99 W900 had the 1 piece curved windshield replaced a while back and the windshield keeps popping out of the glue seal, had the windshield re done twice and noticed it is loose again, told a mechanic and he stated the cab vents must be clogged, it makes sense to me because when i close the door with the windows up i notice the windshield pops out, the cab has always been tight when i close the door.
Does anyone know where the cab vents are, he told me on the bottom of the cab but i can't find them.

check your heaterbox for a door
Dirty-Low-Walker Thanks this. -
I suggest you get a new glass guy. You likely have a fitment issue with an aftermarket glass or seal. If the glass comes out when you close the door, what is it gonna do in an accident? Let's say for moment the cab vents are plugged......should this lack off air pressure escaping the cab when you close the door really push out the windshield?

Every KW I've been around has had a very airtight cab. To the point you'd have to crack a window sometimes just to shut the door. Never had a windshield pop out because of that little bit of pressure.
Dirty-Low-Walker and windsmith Thank this. -
The mechanic wasn't the person that installed the windshield, i mentioned my issue to him thinking he might know of reputable person to set the windshield correctly, he stated that if the cab vents are clogged it would cause this issue and stated he has seen this issue before, i haven't seen him since, he told me the vents are under the cab but i can't find them.
The cab is very tight, most times i crack the window on the drivers side to close the door, if i don't the door doesn't close all the way, i own the same year KW T800 that i purchased last year and the cab is nowhere near as tight as the W 900. -

One was 2 piece curved, the other was 1 piece curved. Normal they don't change the gaskets with the windshield, just pop the glass out and pop the new glass in.
