2016: “We were driving our 40 ft motorhome down highway 491 in new mexico at approximately 60 MPH heading south toward shiprock, nm, when the electrically controlled day/night shade on the windshield came crashing down onto the dash, ripping electrical wiring totally out. Unit probably weighed 10 - 12 pounds. I struggled to maintain control of the vehicle due to the shock of the incident and to realize what had just happened. Entire shade system was now laying on dashboard. Fortunately I was not driving into the direction of the sun and no one was injured. …”
