Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Windshield seal or bonding material fails, letting water run down the inside of the glass toward the driver and dashboard.
Leaks worsen over time, starting as a slight drip and progressing to steady streams during rain, snow, or car washes.
Water pooling and dripping onto the steering wheel, hands, console, and floor reduces visibility and distracts the driver.
Persistent moisture leads to condensation, mildew, and mold buildup inside the cabin.
Some owners report the windshield can be pushed out of its frame from inside, indicating the glass is no longer properly bonded.
Dealers and glass shops reportedly identify the leak as a manufacturing or seal defect rather than damage.
