    THERE HAS BEEN A FILM ON THE WINDSHIELD EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL THINGS ADVISED AND EVEN TOOK IT TO A PLACE THAT CLEANS VEHICLES IN OUR AREA, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, THE FILM IS STILL THERE. I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 3 NEW, DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THERE IS A SPOT HERE AND THERE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE YOU WILL HAVE CLEAR VISION BUT IT IS NOT WHERE IT IS NEEDED. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THE BLADES ALSO BECAUSE OF BUILD UP AND THE SQUEAK IS AWFUL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT AND LEMON THAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. *TR
