I have this haze on my windshield and it's making me crazy. I'm pretty sure its the material between the two layers of glass and the only solution is to replace the windshield. Any tips on this? The windshield is also cracked so I'm thinking it might be time to replace it if possible. Are there...

A leak in the area around the rearview mirror is often due to a poor windshield seal or an issue with the roof seam. Since it happened after washing the car, water may be seeping in through a small gap in the adhesive holding the windshield in place. Check if the headliner near the mirror feels...

My dealer here in Southern California told me I have 5mm left on my rear brake pads. I have a 2019 Ascent with 45,000 miles. My car is 4 years old and most of my driving is short drives with a few longer trips of approx. 2,500 miles during this time. He suggested new pads because I might have...
