teomingern 6th Gear August 31, 2017 Share August 31, 2017 I was researching on why wiper judders previously, and it seem to be related to water repelling agent being coat on the windscreen (ceramic/glass coating or glass water repellent type of products) However, I like the water beading and water sliding off the windscreen effect, which is why I still apply them. Just have to keep the auto wipers off when there is light rain. No issues to keep the wipers on during heavy rain. If you apply the water repelling agent properly and regularly it works like a charm... but once it starts wearing off, the film makes the glassy sticky and you get juddering and squeaky sounds... remember once you apply, it's like forever must continue... unless you're willing to up with all the noise until the film wears off completely... the film is difficult to remove completely, but comes off easily partially which makes it highly annoying to use... I suggest use washer detergent in your wash tank... more effective I feel... cheaper too and much easier... ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sopskysalat 4th Gear September 2, 2017 Share September 2, 2017 I am suprised the warranty is 3 years or 60k km for all except 5 years or 100k km for engine and gearbox only. true? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sktan10 5th Gear September 2, 2017 Share September 2, 2017 can buy at TPY but use stickers, not worth $200 plus for 4 piece of thing leh. And it don't come with LED light either. I think sill plates more practical than stickers. At least sill plates won't get scratch unlike sticker.Especially those girl with high hill shoes,their shoes may scratch the sticker but can't on steel sill plates. My previous car without sill plates,paint was scratch by those high hill shoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originals don't cover all the door sill..those killer hills should can poke one.Best with bigger plates or board sticker which covers a hugh area, can prevent scuff mark by kid's shoes.
