Has anyone else had problems with the top of the windshield leaking on their 1100?

This is the first I've ever heard of. EVER ....
That should be covered under warranty on your new machine. I would ask... It could be a problem later down the road.
Yes it should be a super easy fix.. As long as it isn't a piece of deformed rubber weather stripping around the window possibly needing replacement. It is good to have a record of a phone call in such an instance- should a problem with it appear down the road..
What is a windshield?? That thing that shatters before the branch smacks you in the face?

I called my dealer this morning to at least make them aware. It leaked one other time and in opened the windshield and checked the gasket and all seemed to be perfect, no kinks or other issues so I cleaned the channel that's up top (very minor dust/dirt) and closed windshield back up and it was fine. That is until yesterday when I got back in it after it had been sitting outside in a slow rain all day and noticed water on the dash. This time in a different spot from the first time. And it is a bit of a drive to my dealer so if possible at all I'd like to correct it myself but if it needs any replacing I'll load it up and make the drive. Thanks for the tip on the silicon.....
Mine leaked from the rubber mounts for the work lights and adjusting the hinges helps as well as noted on this older post. I sealed my lights to fix most of my problems.

Well the new seal is in and I pick it up today. But, while at the dealer we noticed some strange wear patterns on the tires and now it's looking like the rear suspension tube and bearing will be replaced and the front end aligned and all new tires put on. Glad the dealer is doing what it takes but it's getting old taking it the 70 mile round trip multiple times!!!!

All new tires! They're a different brand and the edges are a little more rounded off but looks to be the same tread pattern. Also a new rear suspension torsion bar and so new bearings! I have to say my dealer went above and beyond on this deal because they could only turn in one tire under warranty but replaced all 4 so they match!

Riggs outdoor power equipment in Northern Indiana. Good people!
Muleman, a windshield is that glass thingy that helps to keep the cool air in during the hot summer days and the warm air in during the cold winter days. lol, i'm just messin with you. These old bones surely appreciate the climate controlled temps inside the rtv 1100 cab. The AC/Heat controls work really well. With such a small cab area, it doesn't take long to make it really comfortable, no matter the season. Actually, the heater can roast you even on the coldest days. yes, it can inconvenient to open and close the doors and the 1100 isn't everyones cup of tea. Guess thats why Kubota has different models huh?
