Leaking windshield

Bill Lumbergh · 02-05-2006, 09:56 PM

I went out to my Prius today to get lunch and as I was pulling out of my spot it decided to dump about 30 mL of water on my leg. The water was dripping from the headliner at the left front corner of the sunglasses holder. When I made a quick left turn it dumped on me again.

Looks like my windsheild decided to delaminate from the frame, which allowed ice/snow to get trapped in the gap, which melted all over me as the temps rose to a balmy 35.

This is going to be a real PITA to get fixed at the dealer, especially with the hours I'm working.

I guess While I'm there they can fix the rattle from the trim panel by the passenger "tiny window".

That sucks.
I have nothing really to add. Only that it sucks.

The oddest Prius repair problem I've heard of. Did moose kick your car?

Actually, maybe it was...... I'm going to watch it for the next few days to see if it leaks again. Since it's again above 35 degrees today, I think I'll hit the carwash to see if i can make it leak. Hours or days of lost Prius time is not acceptable for the dealer attention that may be required.
