PROBLEM: VERY ACRID WINDSHILD WASHER VAPORS ENTERING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. RECOMMENDED SOLUTIOND MOVE THE NOZZELS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS. THE EXISTING DESIGN PLACES THE NOZZELS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE FRESH AIR INTAKE THUS DRAWING THE ATOMIZED WIPER SOLUTION INTO THE AIRCONDITIONING/DEFROST DUCT WORK WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE OLDER PEOPLE WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS TO HAVE A REACTION TO THESE FUMES WHILE DRIVING.
