We have an '03 Friendship and the clear has peeled from the header, the mirrors, the sides of the windshield frame and the leading edge of the "box" from which the over the door awning extends (apparently all the places that take the wind).

I've been told that all I need to do is scuff sand the entire surface to provide adhesion and to feather the edge of the old clear. Then shoot the clear. It's possible several coats will be needed with scuff sanding between.

Ive removed the door awning unit to replace the fabric, so while it's down I'm going to experiment with re-shooting the clear. Probably get to it next week some time. I will keep you posted on the results.
