Ford pay the price in privacy glass mix up

Ford pay the price in Focus-ST privacy glass blunder

Privacy glass is becoming more and more popular in new cars.  The back 3/4 of the car being tinted in darker glass.  Looks great too.  In a recent blunder reported by Auto Express Magazine, Ford have released the new FOCUS ST-3 with normal green tinted glass and not the privacy glass as it states in the brochure.

A Ford spokesman said "This was a price list error which was rectified as swiftly as possible.  We offered two options:  £300 compensation, or an ST-3 reordered with glass fitted free of charge"

£300 would NOT cover the cost of changing five windows in the rear of the car to privacy glass so this seems a weak option by Ford.

Windscreen Wipers to be replaced?


#windscreens #windscreenrepairs #chiprepairs #auto #glass #wipers #windscreenwipers

Removing wipers could improve cars’ fuel economy without the weight of wiper motors.
McLaren called the wiper, created in 1903, “archaic”.
Jet fighter technology that fires ultrasonic soundwaves over windscreens to keep off rain could end the car wiper blade’s 100-year reign.

Supercar maker McLaren is said to have a system that is due to arrive after 2015.
It could cost as little as £10.
Prof Paul Wilcox of Bristol University said the vibration would not be visible as it is at “nanometer level”.

Will having a windscreen camera mean I’ll fail my MOT?



Q. A few years ago I had a camera fitted to my windscreen so I would have video evidence in the event of a collision or fraudulent insurance claim. Previously this has caused no problem at the MoT test, but before my most recent inspection my garage removed the device, saying my car would have failed otherwise. Why is this, and would refitting the camera be breaking the law?

A. The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (Vosa, now replaced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, or DVSA) wrote to all MoT test centres in March to clarify the rules relating to windscreen obstructions, which may explain why your camera was removed. In simple terms, a car may fail its MoT if there is damage or an obstruction in the “swept area” of the windscreen greater than a 40mm diameter circle. In “zone A” — a 290mm-wide band of the screen immediately in front of the driver and centred on the middle of the steering wheel — this is reduced to a 10mm-diameter circle.

This lorry driver in China seems to have found a novel

driving not only without a windscreen but also a roof - which had to be
tied down with several pieces of rope.
