Windscreen Annoying gap

SUPERTEACH · 6th October 2006, 10:53

Has anyone been caught out by a small gap on the windscreen between the mirror and the rain sensor which can get caught in letting the sun in. For the RHD model the gap is at the top on the right of the mirror. Only small but twice now the sun has got through.

That bloody sunlight, it gets in everywhere! Has it got no respect for our eyes!

Use the Sat Nav to find out where East/West is and then you can always drive away from the sun - problem solved!

You would probably end up in Lichtenstein, the SatNav POI is that f**ked up.

Mine's not given me any grief at all.

Anyway I like the MacDonalds in Calais!!!

"mind the gap"

but seriously - yes, it's a PITA

Would be an ideal car to have one of those tinted stips across the tops of the windows or even tinted windows - do any models have tinted glass yet??

Don't like the tinted strips, makes figuring out the weather to complex, you can't look up at the sky without getting depressed cos its grey and dark.

RR - get a red sunstrip

then you'll just be permanently confused thinking it's sunset instead

Or a blue one, then you can experience blue sky thinking when driving no matter what the weather is

With the weather like it is at the moment it will have to be vivid blue with spots on.
