Unknown or Other · at 50,000 miles · reported May 1, 2018
I have owned 4 of these bentley flying spurs (2006-2010) and all of them have foggy windows in the quarter panal windows (The smaller windows behind the passenger door windows. They have a fog around them and I cannot see out of them and it is a safety hazard and concern. Why has bentley never fixed this issue and installed such cheap glass? You cannot fix this without taking out the glass and replacing it. I cannot see out of mine and ended up side swiping the car coming up on the side of me. It is extremely unfair and dangerous and put my child's life in danger.
