Booked the car in for MOT today at 15.00 hrs, as is my wont I took it up the motorway to get the cat hot and as I was returning a large rock was thrown up by the lorry in the nearside lane, hit the wiper drive just in front of me then the screen.
Wiper immediately goes into megasqueak mode and there's a 6" crack from the corner of the screen.
Stopped the car and pulled the wiper out a bit and the squeaking has gone.
Thought I've nothing to lose so took it in for the test, here's a cut and paste of the cert. Not a mention of the screen.
