I thank the delegation for the presentation. The audit covered 5,000 windscreens that had been replaced and 35% exhibited some quality or safety issue. Was that 35% of the 5,000 windscreens which had been replaced or the 500 which had been replaced previously?
Does the problem arise solely with windscreens that were previously replaced or is it inherent to the way the car was originally manufactured? Criteria and guidelines are lacking in this country. What is the position in other jurisdictions?
