Proper installation of the windshield ensures
watertightness. Since
depending on the supplier, we recommend

10.1.5.1 Hydrophobic Treatment on Side
Windows
The new low profile window gasket creates an
airflow that is closer to the vehicle. This reduces
air drag but window soiling of the side windows
becomes more likely.
A specific water repelling treatment is factory
applied to the driver's and entrance door
windows to counter this effect and prevent
window soiling.
We suggest renewing the water repelling
treatment each year
depending on operating conditions.
If you notice increased soiling on the driver's and
entrance door windows after several months of
operation, the water repelling treatment can be
renewed by making an appointment with your
nearest Prevost Service Center.
The Hydrophobic compound
formulated for Prevost and can only be applied
by Prevost technicians in Prevost service
centers.
