• confused by low visibility windscreen? 21 Mar 2020 (Forum)
  Hello again, Thanks for the advice about vehicle purchasing in another thread. I purchased a used Honda Civic and am very happy with it. The car was approved used and spotless having been valeted etc. My issue is with the windscreen.

• Skoda Octavia Windscreen Wipers 30 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  My Octavia TDI (1999) has an intermittent fault with the windscreen wipers in that they frequently fail to stop, and when they do eventually stop it can be at any position on the windscreen. This can happen when using any of the wipers speeds or the intermitant setting.
• Update on windscreen cleaning 2 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  A recent thread suggested sugar soap as a possible product for cleaning windscreens. I have recently been doing a lot of decorating and the plastic bucket seems now to be mildly etched. I do not know of its effect on glass, but I suggest that windscreens maybe a missuse of the product.

• Honda Stream II 2009 (import) - Replacing a unique windscreen 6 Sep 2024 (Forum)

• Any - Polarised lenses 27 Aug 2012 (Forum)
   The new pair are the real thing, polarised, something that I thought the old pair were, but the effects show that the old pair, although good, were not polarised. With the polarisation effect the reflected light from the windscreens on approaching cars is filtered out, and the lenses show up which cars have tinted windscreens.  Some of the windscreens are quite strongly tinted and it shows up as a bloom similar to what you sometimes see on camera lenses.
