Description of the problem | On a cool rainy evening in oconomowoc, wi, the inside of the windshield became covered with film that could not be wiped off with a cloth, a squeegee, or a blackboard eraser. Visibility was marginal on a dark road, but when facing oncoming headlights, the windshield lit up and completely lost its transparency. Multiple times, crashes were barely avoided by dead reckoning of the continuation of the lane locus. Since that time we have purchased rainx compound for cleaning inside of windshield and used it multiple times, with some positive results, but still have remaining streaks. Event may have been aggravated by environmental conditions. Defroster, even with high heat, could not eliminate the windshield problem at the time... Updated 09/08/15 *bf updated 10/14/2015*js |
