When my XC90 diesel cross over the rain puddles on the road, all the water comes violently to the windscreen. This situation is really dangerous for me because I have no sight for some seconds. The speed of the car when it hapens is from 20 km/h and forward and the puddles are not deep enought. Does anybody have this problem? What can I do? Thanks
XC90 Problems

The only reason this problem is worse in the XC90 than a sedan is that you have much wider tires and more clearance. The wide tires throw up much more water and the high clearance provides a much bigger path for the water to get to the windscreen.
The solution that I can think of are:
1) avoid puddles,2) when you can't turn on the wipers before you hit the puddle,
and 3) possibly you could have 2 additional mud flaps installed in front of the front tires.
Good luck!
