Rattles and incorrect shape of windshield wiper hold bars

I had minor issues on my Saber 2002.
But my dealer fixed them yesterday.
I hope this report may help other people also.

1. Small rattles from around left C-pillar.
Finally it is proved that the rattle came from the mount of DVD Navi that is under the left side of the rear shelf.
The DVD Navi unit is mounted by 3 (three) brackets. However there are small gaps between the bracket and Navi unit.
Then occasionally the Navi unit moves a little and caused rattles.
My dealer added smalls cushions between Navi unit and brackets.

2. Windshield wiper left an area that is not wiped.
I have noticed that there is an area about 2 in wide that is not wiped correctly by the windshield wiper of driver's side.
That is around the center of the wiper blade.

I have changed the wiper blade some times, but the situation can not be improved.
Finally my dealer found out that the shape of the windshield wiper hold bar (the bar driven by the wiper motor directly, not a bar that hold a rubber blade) was not appropriate.
As the result, when the wiper blade go back to the original position, the angle of rubber blade against windshield was not appropriate and caused an area that is not wiped.
Also it is found that the pressure of wiper blade against windshield was too strong.

My dealer has adjusted the wiper hold bar and now it looks much better.
In order to make sure that it is fixed, they are going to give me a new bar that holds rubber blade also.

I have experienced other minor issues as follows in 4 month after I got this brand-new Saber in this January, but they are fixed and I now enjoy driving this baby.

- Squeezing from seatbelt buckles
2 (two) of the front seat seatbelt buckles were replaced.
- driver's side door lock bar didn't come up when the driver open the door.
The linkage between door handle and door lock bar has been replaced.
