Deadly windscreen wipers... Skoda. Simply Stupid.

I do seem to recall though, that it affected the driver's and nearside rear window (simply because these are the ones I usually open).

by default, its set to operate the "Driver's" window only. i changed mine to "All".


but thats usually associated with the long press (unlock) to open all/driver's windows.

the auto-close works all the time, every time for me.
sometimes too much. if i open the windows using the remote, then relock it without opening any of the doors, the windows will automatically close after a set time!! sux when u feelin too lazy to go out & physically do it.

I've had a windscreen on order through the Skoda dealer that so far has taken about a month and still no sign. How did you get one so quickly?

Trivett have always been great to me. They apparently had a few windscreens to choose from (different windscreens for the different models). I have always received everything either the same day or next business day, provided it's in stock in Australia of course.

Just noticed your location... I would imagine Bass Strait may have something to do with your delay?

Might add a few days if it comes from Sydney, but I reckon it's more down to the dealer not chasing it up.

Finally got my windscreen - took 3 sodding months! $400 for the screen (it has the rain sensor mask) plus fitting. They gave me some bs about some screens delaminating so they were held up.

That is complete and utter crap from the dealer and for $400 it is NOT a genuine Skoda screen for the sensor windows. It's more than likely a cheap Chinese knock off that took so long because the dealer probably purchased it through ebay.
When I cracked my vRS (with sensing wipers) screen about two months ago Windscreens O'Brien had non genuine screens in stock in Melbourne and Skoda had genuine screens in stock in Sydney for $20 more. I got the genuine screen from Sydney overnight.
You have been dudded mate.

I paid $380 for a new (genuine) windscreen plus fitting, so $400 sounds about right... Don't you think everything is a rip-off anyway?
You can check if it's genuine by looking on the bottom of the screen on the drivers side for the skoda logo and part / serial numbers etc. and if you're really OCD you can phone a Skoda parts department and have them check the serial number... But you probably have a life...
