RE: One Hatchback Imperfection - 11/9/2007 3:23:57 PM    virgin1 Posts: 5204 Joined: 3/15/2007 Status: online Well, the biggest problem with the BACK LIGHT, as it is technically called, is the space around the glass on the hatch that holds any moisture in the channel. And yes, SPeeDy, I agree that the rear bumper is especially poorly designed keeping the rear washer fluid/rain/moisture/dirt/whatever in mind.  My '04 has had that same annoyance since day one. BUT don't answer yet!!  Keep in mind that the "hooded" mirrors do the same DAMNED thing after a wash.  That the body of this car has so many grooves and spaces in it that it takes an hour to do a truly good wash/dry job on it. _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to SPeeDy3) Post #: 8
