As others have alluded to, if you have auto wipers you need to get an OEM screen. On non-OEM versions the tint at the top is slightly different and it throws the auto wipers out of whack. At some point in its life mine's had a pattern screen fitted and as a result the auto wiper function is so <beep> I never use it.
