so i got my xb a week and a half ago and noticed that the rear wiper fluid wasnt working...i figured that it was just that i hadnt really used it yet and i had to wait for the fluid to feed through the whole line...by that time the resivoir was empty so i filled it back up....so i guess it was this past thursday that the backseat passengerside floor was all wet...i thought it might be somethin to do with the scotchguard cause my cd case was sitting there since i picked the car up...well yesterday i went out and it was completely soaked again...i found out that it was because there is a leak in my fluid line...i am gonna call the dealership today and talk to them about it
now my question is, should i ask for a new carpet and new floormat? they are both completely soaked and its probably not good for them at all...i dont know if wiperfluid can get mildew and stuff but i dont want to risk it...what do you guys think i should ask for...its all covered under warranty so it really shouldnt be a major problem

 

they should be able to remove all the wiper fluid with no worries- the line for the rear wiper runs along the passenger sill plate- do you have the sub or sill plates as accesories?- my only thought is that they crimped it some how....

 

i dont have any accessories that would interfere...my only concern is that the fluid may have ruined the carpet or floormats cause of the chemicals...i also dont want any mildew or mold growin underneath it either...im gonna take it in sometime this week and i guess they will let me know...probably try to screw me over tho cause warranty covers it

 

I recently read of a similar problem but cannot recall the vehicle brand. The problem involved a tubing connector between the inner and outer skins of the hatch in that case. The tubing and connector had parted company.

 

sorry to say this but i doupt that the dealer will cover this. Thell probally use a some stupid excuse like " its your fault for using it soo much" or somthing like that. They will replace the line and that stuff but your carpet and flormatt i doupt.
