Honda Cr-v Visibility/wiper Safety Report | May 30, 2012
Reported on May 30, 2012
| OUR WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM TRAVELS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT REMOVING RAIN FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE AIR PASSING OVER AND AROUND THE WINDSHIELD ARM AS IT RETURNS, THE WIPER PULLS THE RAIN BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. IT APPEARS THAT THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD ARM AND BLADE CAUSES A VACUUM THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. HERE IN FLORIDA WITH TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM THIS FACTOR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. A QUICK FIX WOULD BE AIRFOIL THAT SNAPS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD ARM THAT WOULD DIRECT AIR INTO THIS VACUUM BEHIND THE WIPER BLADE, DESTROYING THE SUCTION THAT PULLS THE WATER BACK ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VISION. *TR | |
