My question is this: is the damage covered by my warranty? If the answer is 'no,' how much would it cost to replace? Please help.

Not as good as factory but it works. I've heard some people have good results.

I guess I will just have to deal with a partially fogged rear windsheild. Steve Khoe 1999 Contour SVT - "Juliet" Silver/Midnight Blue "Have you driven a Four-D, lately?"
