minor warranty work
Taking my '04 in this week to get the drivers side seat resewn at the bolster seam and the tape deck stopped working. Whenever I get back from a ride, I notice windshield wiper fluid splashed on the wiper cowl. Anyone have that problem and is it an easy fix? Just curious but the car is under warranty.

rapid acceleration can cause windshield cleaning solution to be pulled out of the nozzles.
That's quite normal on a C5.

Sometimes if you get the washer tank too full it will do this under hard acceleration. Try taking a little fluid out and see if that cures it.

Since it is at the seam, it's covered (no pun intended). I just had mine done. At the same time they:
replaced my brake fluid reserve (leaking around cap)
replaced the driver seat track (rocking)
replaced all of the upper weather stripping (targa top rattled)
replaced a rubber "nub" on targa top to stop rattling (the real culprit)
adjusted driver's windows (wind noise)
I've never been more pleased with a dealer.

That is the only way to keep the stupid light off and the water off the window.
