see a lot a people have had a similar issue, so beware. If you see any kind of air bubble in the silicone between the side and front glass, look out, it's only a matter of time before it fails. The failure seems to be with the 2018 / 2019 verision of the Reefer XL 425 and happens somewhere in the 3rd or 4th year. Please be careful......
