Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tv mounted in the raised sky top of our elk conversion van, broke loose and fell out of its mount . My wife yelled as she saw the tv falling, and I reached back over my right shoulder to catch the tv before it fell to the floor and exploded into the passenger area with my wife and child. I fortunately was able to exit the hwy. Without an accident, sustaining a sprained shoulder and sore elbow. Other sky tops are also failing at a high rate. There is a new mounting system (fix) but it is only covered within the first 36,000 mi. Time will cause more problems with the older plastic tv mounts.”
