XL2 panel delamination

[Gary Carmichael]

IT seems to me that Prevost would step up to the plate here! the date of manufacture should not have any thing to do with the repair being paid for by Prevost unless they changed adhesive they used on that date, and if so why did the change occur, was it because of problems detected then? It seems it would set a precedent if a 2001 was repaired at no cost and a 2006 would have to pay? I still say there should be a recall of sorts, I am not bashing Prevost here, but just putting out my thoughts! Gary

I recently had a few "loose" panels glued at Prevost, Mira Loma. I am leaving soon on a long trip to the midwest and back. I will keep you posted as to any water leaks or panels coming unglued. The repair took one day.

Has anyone from Prevost or otherwise determined WHY these panels are coming unglued?

Could the glue be inferior? Maybe the glue manufacturer could help with some of the expenses.

When a bus is repaired, does Prevost use a different brand of glue or do they use the initial brand that was used when the bus was built?

Could the heat generated from a polishing tool cause the glue to break down?

How are the panels on an H attached?

[Gary Carmichael]

Very interesting question, I too would like to know how the H panels are on. I would think bolted? Gary

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?

Diane,

Does your H have any rivets? I was wondering if maybe it is glued and riveted at the edge of each panel.

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.
