| Description of the problem | Windshield migrating out of the frame at highway speeds. The glass breaking. The manufacturer replaced the windshield and placed a "l" brackett to prevent further migration. The problem with this defect was not disclosed or prevented before i purchased the vehicle. The repair is not adequate nor professional. They litterally screwed an "l" brakett inot the dash. The repair is unsightly and inadequate. There are "newer" models that have a "fix" that looks professional. They ignore my requests to have the "same" repair done to my windshield.*ak |
