| Description of the problem | Windshield exhibited sparkling type fault that compromised ability to see clearly thru the windshield. Especially severe in night driving or direct sunlight. Subaru replaced windshield as a "courtesy" to me. The same condition is now prevalent in the replacement windshield. I know the dealer will tell me it is another fault, not the manufacturing of the windshield. |
