What I find amazing is just simple things like this, were they still get ingress of water thru wiper shafts. Whereas every other vehicle manufacturers seems to find solutions to such an inevitable eventuality every time it rains. The warranty costs must be horrendous, if it takes out the PCB and other control switches, for the sake of better design and execution during the build stage.
Its not as if its a new problem even 40 odd years ago my mass produced MG Midgets a similar wiper application/design could keep water out from the wiper shafts. Does it not rain in Malvern? It would frustrate me, knowing potentially every time it rained, could see your car off the road for a while whilst being fixed and more importantly why are they fixing it again. You want the assurance that in wet conditions, your car will operate safely.
Maybe they should consider introducing a wet room as part of the quality control procedure, subject the car to monsoon type rain, to check for leaks and the operation of wipers , lights etc. before despatching to customers.
