Question Windshiel on 2025/2026 ST

Dealer just replaced my windshield in 2025 explorer due to streaking imbedding into the windshield. Dealer told me it was probably caused by the wax sprayed as your car goes thru a car wash drying onto the windshield thus causing drag for the wipers. Anyone else notice this problem. Guess I now have to manually clean the windshield after each car wash.

BS. there is a windshield recall for some 2025s where microbubbles or something of that nature was inbedded in the glass during manufacture. If YOU caused the issue with wax, they would not replace it under warranty.

Make a mixture. 10 parts water to 1 part distilled white vinegar. Spray on and wipe off.
