problem #1

Impreza 4-cyl

  • miles
I cannot keep the windshield on my new 2008 Impreza fog free. The dealer noticed a "film" on it and cleaned it. The fogging returned after a day. I've used anitifogging solution that lasts about 3 days and the "film" and fogging returns. This can be very dangerous after dark since when the fogging is most pronounced. There must be something inside the car (possibly a silicone spray) that's causing this. Whatever it is, it hinders the drivers vision and is dangerous.
