I had another cars windshield replaced and asked the replacement company to reseal the windshield on my chevy Venture. They stated to me that it was a known defect by chevy and they would not reseal it because the windshield will slide out of place again causing a leak or worse during an accident.

NHTSA complaint #10139788, filed 2005-10“Windshield wipers are inadequate in cold weather. The windshield wipers both swing into the middle of the windshield. If in the off position one sits under the other. Both wipers are hidden under the hood. It makes it impossible to clean the snow and ice that accumulates on them. Also, blades when in their off position appear not to get any value from defroster heat. Thus, rubber blade is cold and stiff.”
