The dealership mentioned today that applying a film on the front windshield could affect the ES system. Is that true? What would be the impact if the front windshield isn't tinted?

That's true, but not everything is impossible. You can use 3M Crystalline.

Thank you all, got it now. I'll go ask tomorrow if they can trim the film a bit at the front to reveal the "ES." It's free, so it feels like a waste not to use it, haha.

A deep film might not work. I've personally tested it, and during heavy rain or snow, the ES automatically turns off.

Applying a film on the front windshield won't affect the ES's performance. In fact, window film is more of a consumer trend than a necessity. If you're not particularly concerned about sun exposure or privacy, you can skip it. The car will appear especially bright and fresh without it.

Generally, the front windshield can also be tinted, as long as you avoid this part. Of course, it's also okay not to tint it.

I want to ask everyone about the quality of the 600LT. I'm really worried about having to take it to the repair shop frequently. Also, is it true that the front windshield cracks easily?

It seems like your car's brake pedal is hard to press in the morning when starting the engine, but it becomes lighter after the engine is on. This issue didn't exist before, and you're wondering if it's due to a vacuum pump leak. The dealership mentioned it doesn't affect driving. What should you do?

I'm an owner of a 2012 XV and haven't really been to the dealership much. A few days ago, I went to get a small part replaced, and the manager mentioned that there's a recall for this model. It requires replacing the valve springs and brake switch, but it seems too troublesome since it needs the engine to be taken out, so I didn't do it. Has anyone else gone through this? If I don't do it, will there be any impact?

Did anyone with a 2018 Subaru Legacy with Eyesight not tint the windshield because the manufacturer advised against it, saying it might affect the Eyesight system? I'm considering tinting now and want to know if anyone has done it and if it affected the Eyesight system.

I just got the 2021 luxury version of the GV80. I'm wondering if I need to apply a front windshield film and window film. Also, for a dash cam, which type can be hidden without needing wiring? Looking for some expert advice.

Have you guys applied tinting film yet? Where did you get it done? I'm so confused.

I have a couple of minor issues with my Touareg 3.0, wondering if anyone else has experienced the same: 1) After refilling the windshield washer fluid, it leaks onto the ground. The mechanic suggested that it might be a crack in the connecting hose, causing the fluid to spill out. It doesn't affect usage. 2) Occasionally, when driving at low speeds in traffic, there's a slight squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel. It doesn't happen all the time and doesn't seem to have much impact.

Today, I saw a Land Rover Defender and thought it looked really cool. I chatted with the owner for a bit and mentioned that it looks similar to the Tank 300. The owner said that this car could buy 20 Tank 300s. Is that true?
