Tonight on the way home from work, the arm that raises the windshield broke in two. One piece is still connected to the mechanism inside the dash, the other is still connected to the pivot on the windshield support frame.
I glued the pieces together and also glued some additional metal to the arm so it has additional reinforcement. I have no idea how long it will hold.
Of course, it's under warranty, and my dealer will surely replace it.
Has this happened to anyone else ?
Does anyone know if there has been a redesign of this arm, or is the only design the new 2011 windshield. I'm wondering if there was more to the windsheild redesign then simply increasing gas mileage. A smaller windshield will also put less stress on this arm.
I just want to make sure I don't replace a faulty design with one exactly the same.
