When driving the vehicle and the sun is shining there's is a relection that comes off the dashboard, making it hard to see out of the windshield. In addition, when operating windshield wipers during rain, the passenger's side wiper stops and drops accumulated water in driver's vision. When stopped and wipers are on high, the car rocks as if in a wind storm.
