Freaklander Windscreens
Despite watching my son and I seemingly forever beneath our 4 various LRs, My wife opted for a Freelander. ('03 HSE V6) She has repeatedly complained about the windshield wipers not performing. The dealer finally, just last week, and after 4 visits, changed out the glass for a new one.
Here was the problem. The RH wiper, on the upswing, brought up rain or mist to it's apex, and the LH wiper, on the down swing would just smear it instead of wiping it away. This resulted in an almost complete blurred area and was quite annoying, apart from the safety aspect. The dealer changed blades and arms, cleaned the glass with solvent to no avail, hence the glass change. We haven't has any rain since then, so I can't confirm the problem being fixed. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Also, anyone had a confirmed date for the A pilar recall getting underway?
On another note, We regularly rent a 1.8 5 speed when visiting Tortola. I love that box. Why can't we get a manual in the states?
