The heated screen on my 2008 4/4 (easy up hood) was supplied by Tyneside. I wonder if a change of supplier since then has contributed to this issue.
My 2003 4/4 also has an easy-up hood, but having read this thread with interest, I had another thought.
Anyone who has ever tried to bend channel sections, will know how notoriously difficult it can be to retain the section at the point of bend; I wonder if a change of supplier/change of process/change of tooling/age of tooling has led to an inconsistent section in the frame and thus a pressure point on the glass?
