No faults found. Althought they have managed to put plenty of swirls in the paintwork despite being told not to wash the car!

Wipers slapping/jumping

Hi all, My wipers are doing my head in. The car is 1 month old, I found the wipers didn't do a great job so I applied rain x. Now the wipers jump and slap so much, at the highest position the wiper blade hits the pillar on every wipe! Is there any cure for this? I love rain x and would be annoyed if...

Does everyone else have this? Can it be improved?

Re: Auto dipping mirror

It is LCD. The sensor by the switch detects the light and then the mirror dims by making the LCD darker. Similar to the black letters on a calculator screen. Mine works so well you don't notice it.
