I have been told that the H panels are only glued on. Also heard (only heard) that the very long panel under the windows on the passenger side came off on an H but couldn't find any info to confirm this. Has anyone else heard this?

Hi,
We don't have any rivets on our H, and no signs of delamination,

Tuga,
No not a rivet, screw or anything that I can see....narrow strips along the top of the bus appear to slide on then snap in place but the big panel under the windows I have no clue... I would think just glued... I may call Prevost and ask them next week, I am curious now.
I wonder if flush rivets would be a viable solution! I know that flush rivets are used on airplanes.
When the guy told me about the failed panel that he had heard about, we had him check ours very closely and they all seem super tight. I think that they would have to have snaps or fasteners attached to the back of the panels that attach to the frames.. I don't see glue being the only means to attach these panels as big as they are.
Diane,
From experience with our last coach, the Marathon H, the side panels above the baydoors to the roof line are hung on a track much like how your windows are hung off a lip, the lower panel edge is screwed into the body. The bay door skins have rivets on the edges. The trapezoid windows and driver's side and entry door windows are sika-flexed in place
