I think the bonding issue is due to the modern method of relying on a bonding resin to be the main thing that holds the screen in place. My XC a 2010 car leaked from the windscreen and I was most surprised by how many people had had a similar problem. The way of testing to see if your screens are going to leak is to stand outside the car with the driver or passenger door open and push the screen outwards and look for movement at the top of the screen. If you notice movement then remove the trims holding the carpet and lift so you can feel underneath the carpet which has a thick foam backing. You wont notice a leak until there has been a good deal of water collected under the carpet as the foam acts as a sponge. If your screen is leaking use duck/gaffer tape to form a repair until a permanent solution.
