windscreen

Driving along this morning my rear windscreen shattered for no reason whatsoever! I've read on various other threads that this has happened to people before. Obviously i'm not too happy about paying the excess on my insurance policy for the rear windscreen and want to complain to SEAT. Who is...

Can anyone tell me if the linkage lengths ect in a leon are same to either the Golf, A3 or TT Or are they all different

This is possibly another silly question, but in the manual I've found references to a 'maintenance' or 'service' position (i.e. horizontal) for the wipers but nowhere I can see does it tell you how to do it (please put me out of my misery if it is there somewhere and tell me!). Please can...

not sure if this is a problem or not. Any way noticed yesterday that there was a louder than usual woosshing of air coming from what sounds like the base of the windscreen when the turbo kicks in:confused:. Normally don't notice it as the stereo is on loud, but sounds louder than it used to...

Hiya Im having serious issues with my front wipers at the moment, i was wondering if someone can advise something. This may be a long thread so im aplogise in advance :redface: Right here goes. My wipers were slitghyl noisy in the park and upright position, as if there was grease in...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, a key as slid down the windscreen de-mister vents on my dash, its gone past the little foam bit that you can reach. Is there an easy(ish) way of gettin in those vents? Cheers!

Hi all, Beezer MK4 FR out of warranty (typical!) and the wipers have gone on the blink....... They have suddenly started going really slow no matter what speed setting - any ideas what this may be? Cheers.

sorry for staring all these threads, but best to have one for each topic ;) Anyway, I recently asked on another site what to use to get bugs of etc. Got some ok advice. Anyway, when I cleaned the other day I used Astonish Insect and Tar Remover (because my aunty sells it £1 a bottle in her...

ive now fitted my aero wipers slight problem i over tightened the passenger side and ive snapped the nut/bolt is it easy to replace jus that one part or do i need a whole new wiper motor? thanks for any help a rather calm stuart

Hi guys, After reading the forums i decided that my wipers had ceased to function because the wiper motor had gone. After spending far too much money buying a new motor i rush home to install it. Everything goes back together fine until i go to try the wipers. Same problem really slow and...

:( I am gettiing really fed up with bad smearing on my windscreen.Can anyone please tell me how to prevent it,and rid myself of it:( thanks

When I brought my Cordy it had a crack in the screen but its getting really bad now, going right across my view. I have been quoted £150 roughly for a new one as that includes vat and fitting. Apprantly because they are moulded in you need a company to do it? Is that true or do you think its...

I've just had my windscreen replaced my a mobile fitter and to me it doesn't look like it's fitted properly. The strips of black rubber along the sides of the screen don't seem to fit flush to the screen. Here's a cross-section on how it looks now: As you can see the black rubber seal...

Waiting for my FR TDI to be built, I have been looking on the net at various exterior pictures of the Mk 2 Leon. I noticed in one of them, with the wipers in operation, that they were hinged at the outer edges (ie they operate in symetrical arcs as opposed to the more conventional types which...

Hi all, Whenever the sun catches my windscreen, all I see is thousands of little specs reflecting the sun - it looks like someone has covered the screen in glitter. The car is a 2004 Leon Cupra TDI, and has done ~58,000 miles. To the naked eye, the screen looks clean enough, so i'm wondering...

I have been having this on/off problem with my windscreen wipers for the past couple of months. Basically they just stop working sometimes and completely die?? But it is only the front ones and usually within a few days they start to work again? So it can't be the fuse? Can anyone help at...

Some stupid :censored:, driving a stupid little Corsa, has cracked my windscreen! :cry: [:@] I say driving, but I don't think he knows how to. Luckily thats all he did. I was ready for an airbag in the face as he lost control doing stupid speeds round a blind corner on a small country road...

Just went out to Halfords this lunch ( 3 for two on Meguires ;) ) come back out to find an 8" crack in the windscreen. Drivers side, about 5" up, just like the crack from the last Leon. Same place and everything... Best check the Seat Approved Used Car warrenty to see if I still have cover...

Does anyone else have these, mainly on the passenger side on the windscreen, where they have the stickers when the car is delivered. Its only really visible when its damp but I have tried everything to remove them and had no luck.

Afternoon guys, Had my SLC for about a week or so but just noticed the top seal around the windscreen was not flush, it appears to have either dropped in (all along the window) or is there a 2nd seal which should sit flush on the screen??? Thanks - i'll try put some pics up if i can work...
