Swift caravan hob glass sliding out.

It's a brand new van so I'd get the dealer to fix it under warranty.

Exactly the same for me, same van. I’ve reported it to the dealer that the glass flying out has damaged the cupboard opposite, so needs replacing. Still waiting...

Highbridge caravans due to phone me in the morning I just wanted some idea if this was unusual. 

Probably not unusual. How many miles has it done? I had to have the brakes replaced after maybe 400 miles.

This happened to our Thetford Cooker in our new Knaus, just after we got it. Since we always have rubber covers over the glass tops above the sink and the cooker - to stop scratching (the sort you can use as a shower mat) - it stopped it flying off.

Literally a two minute job to re-tighten the two grub screws that hold it in place and haven't had a problem since. (Be careful not to over-tighten, otherwise there is a danger of cracking the glass)

In short highly unusual, never seen a reference to this before.  

Then along come three.

Mine fell out on a new van last trip, its a Coachman with thetford cooker. Its due for first service so will get it done under warranty. Apparently quite common, just another of those really crap engineering ideas foisted on the caravan community. 

My last one wouldnt stay in the mountings in the last van, stuck some 3M 1mm thick foam underneath the pad that grips the lid and it stayed put. In hindsight....

We have a 2012 Swift, and the glass almost came out on a trip last year, having re-tightened the screws, it has not happened since. I was a bit nervous at the time in case I overtightened.

R & R ,

  If you find loose  little grub screws in such a position I recommend the application of something that's available to most  'vanners --  lacking a small bottle of 'LOCTITE'  snaffle an almost empty bottle of  nail varnish  .  Apply a tiny drop onto the screw thread and gently retighten. Should they ever slacken again --just blame the provider of the 'varnish  .
