What's wrong?
On 2020-2023 Winnebago Navion and View recreational vehicles, the Aerofence trim is an exterior panel mounted at the rear roof cap. It is secured to brackets and the body surface, and its normal job is to stay fixed in place while the vehicle moves through highway air and vibration.
On affected motorhomes, the adhesive used to hold the Aerofence trim was not applied correctly, or the surface was not prepared correctly before the trim was installed. That weak bond lets the trim loosen over time. Once the attachment loses strength, the trim piece can detach during transit instead of staying secured to the roof cap.
There is no warning sign before failure. If you see trim lifting from the roof cap, missing fasteners, a new gap, or hear exterior rattling near that area, treat it as an attachment problem that needs dealer inspection before another trip.
