I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY WITH MY 2008 SATURN AURA SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE INTERIOR WINDSHIELD PANEL. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME NUMEROUS WRECKS. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL 4 HEAD RESTS IN ORDER TO SEE. AFTER 30 YEARS OF DRIVING WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR CITATIONS, DUE TO THE SAME VISIBILITY PROBLEM, I WAS T-BONED CROSSING A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY SATURN HAD TO BE TOWED. *TR
DEFROST STOPS BLOWING ON WINDSHIELD, AND CONDENSATION BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. *TR
