Default Okay. Im trying again. Is this the right area to post?

Again. Was at park. Moon roof was open. Guy drove by really fast and water sprayed into my car HARD.
Soaked EVERYTHING. Now Im having problems with the touch screen GPS I have. The buttons around the GPS works. The touch controls radio etc, temperature don't work right. I push the left screen and the right scrolls. Its a mess. Im assuming this is the correct area to post this issue?

I have put in a ICBC claim and am looking for the YELLOW TRUCK who did this at Albert Dyke park on Wednesday.

Like spilling your drink on your keyboard.


Can't you let the shop take care of it?

So its ruined? I put in a claim. How can they even fix this? Is this really damaged? I don't understand how. The water went through the vents granted but still i wiped everything down. WHen it dries why would it be bad? The screen nothing seeped through. Its a screen. I got water on my computer screen before and it was fine.

Its original.

If it can't be fixed Id like to know what can be put in there if anyone has had this happen before. Up here in Canada I have to pay a 300 deductible.

I'm not really sure what you're expecting us to say? Just sounds like its messed up and needs to be replaced. Simple as that. These screens can be found on eBay.

Can I have a link? And is it just the screen?Im taking this into ICBC today and I need to know what options I have. Is this a fix just the screen? Has anyone had these replaced and put in a upgrade? If I have that option I would do that.
