| Description of the problem | Windshield appears to crack easily. When the windshield was being replaced it defective body sealant/bonding was discovered. The dealership and the manufacturer were contacted, and said they would log the complaint. But they were unwilling to do anything about it. The glue used to bond the vehicle pieces at the pinch welds was soft, and could be removed with one's fingertip. The windshield sealant, when peeled off, removed the glue from the body, indicating that the paint adhered better to the body, glue was not sufficiently bonded to the body. I have pictures to document this case.*ak |
