    Red face Non LR thinking???

    I recieved an email from a friend (non-bloke) who just drove from Innisfail to Babinda, through very heavy rain. A bit south of Mirriwinni there is some rain forrest, as she was driving through this section she heard a thump then couldn't see through the windscreen. Being a bright lass she stopped, wound down the window and re-oriented herself and drove into Mirriwinni with her head out of the window. She stopped in the village to check the windscreen, then completed the last 6 odd km with her head still out of the window. Upon her arrival, at home she e-mails me, "What's wrong with my car". In my reply I attempt to establish
    1. Is it safety glass and is it shattered.
    2. Are the wipers still going back & forth.
    3. Are the wipers contacting the glass
    After 6 e-mails (each way) I've only been able to discover that the winscreen is not broken.
    I'm so glad she only went to Innisfail for tea and not a $150 hair-do

    Getting somewhere now, the wipers are moving, the 'screen is leaking (no it is a Camry, not a Landy)

    That narrows it down to:
    1. The wipers are not in contact with the glass.
    2. Internal wipers need to be fitted.
    Should have this sorted by next wet season

    Ah, that'd be the drop bears.

    I think it's something do with their wet-season diet.

    Very messy.
