Condition
Some owners may comment that marks/stains appear on the windshield when the windshield is wet.
Cause
This condition may be caused by contact between the windshield and the vacuum hoses or other tools used in the assembly process. This contact may leave a residue that creates a water repellent surface on the glass which, in wet conditions, appear as marks/stains on the surface.
Correction
Important
DO NOT REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR THIS CONDITION.
To clean the windshield, use Eastwood Glass Polishing Compound*. Follow the manufacturer's directions for product use. Use only hand tools. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.
