Description of the problem	On all 2013 cr-vs the windshield side trim strips are not close to the windshield, allowing a water-dam effect during a rain storm. In prior years, the trim detail was different. On 2013 model years, the trim starts 1/16" away from the windshield at the top, but increases to 1/2" at the bottom. Additionally, the depth of the channel under the trim strip is 1/2" or greater. At speed during a storm, when the wiper sweeps rain in the leftward arc, it is not ejected entirely from the windscreen, but is "stored" under the trim strip. When the wiper starts its right-swing, the "stored" water is pulled from its channel, thereby creating a sheet of water on the windshield which makes visibility negligible. This, of course, only happens on the driver side. The sudden and dramatic loss of visibility is a frightening safety threat. I am turning my new cr-v back to the dealer, and refuse to pay for such an unsafe vehicle.
