• Peugeot 306 - Heater Matrix Replacement 24 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  There are no shortcuts except try and not remove the matrix rubber grommit in the bulkhead but disconnect the plastic pipe assembly inside the car under the windscreen and close to the bulkhead. This is very important and re-fitting the grommit is a 2 person job using the old string technique that used to be used 40 years ago when windows were hed in by rubber trim.

• Mazda 2 - Ice on inside of windscreen 4 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  During the recent freezing weather we have noticed that in the mornings there is a layer of ice on the inside of the windscreen. Is this something that should happen on a newish car? We've had it happen before but always on far older cars. Most daily trips are fairly shortish (4 or 5 miles per day) so could this be a factor?

  Bought the car recently and noticed that the plastic moulding where the wipers are fitted has a gap where it fits to the windscreen.  I remember a 2003 Focus used to have the pollen filter under the same moulding and often the mechanics would break the clips removing it, I know because it happened to me and I managed to glue it and fill it in with black sealant.
