You ought to check into the the PIAA Super Sporza wiper replacement for wipers that lift off the surface of the glass. I use them on my 2001 Ram since the OEM blades would lift as well at highway speeds. These wipers are awesome.
It is no longer a problem as the job and the truck is gone. The company had
14 of those vans on the road and between all the drivers I think we tried everything. RainX was the final conclusion, and screw the wipers as you did not need them with RainX. Greg
Just some spammer trying to lure in suckers and a guy that thinks I'm not intelligent enough to pour water out of a boot with directions on the heel and we should accept everything the spammer says without question. He also seems to think I never listen to you and, by implication, talk with you, friend.
Obviously he's never posted in AADT before.

( btw, don't you hold the boot over the spammer's head to read the directions? ;)

Unless, of course, you believe I OWN Rain-X.......
I agree...but there are times when that big ole nasty spot of bug guts needs to be cleaned off as you are driving down the road at highway speeds. The link is ro anyone that is tired of their blades lifting off....trust me, they work superb for any vehicle. Try them once and you'll wonder why the OEMs don't have these, or something similar, as original equipment.
I'd guess that you don't let yourself get into such situations.
It happens quite often in inclement weather here in N.Y. where a large truck will pass you going the other way and send a wave of water and/or slush at your windshield. Vision through the glass is lost momentarily until the wipers can whisk it away. Using Rain-X or wax on the windshield dramatically reduces the time that you have no vision through the windshield under those circumstances.
As for the visible residue left by using Rain-X (someone made a comment about it), I can't remember ever noticing anything of the sort and I've been using Rain-X as well as clear wax since I was a teenager, over 20 years now.
*I-84 going through N.Y. was re paved a number of years ago, blacktop over concrete. Now in certain area where the truck traffic is the heaviest there are depressions from heavy vehicles in the granny lane which quickly fill with water in heavy rain. Cars and trucks going through these areas will create (no exaggeration) a curled wave of water like comes in at some ocean shores. It's darn near impossible to pass a vehicle in these conditions, a real pain if the driver creating the wall of water is moving at 40 mph or less on the interstate. Without a water shedding chemical on the windshield you are stuck running at the same speed as that driver, even if the conditions do not dictate that you do.
Some people like it and others don't, I find that it is more safe to use it than not. I put on 35-45,000 miles on the road yearly, between my work and personal driving habits.
look, this happens to almost everyone who is new to this ng. over the years i have decided to just ignore it and not to play along with it. at least that is how i handle it right now.
when someone new comes in and says something that is contrary to what one of the long time members says, then it is game on for some folks here. the concept of tolerance is not real high on the priority list here. the golden rule here is do unto others before the other bastard has a chance to do you. i just sit back and watch. if you do that, it can be a whole lot of fun. they talk of religion here, but the concept of religion that gets discussed is.........well..........different. there are just a few people here that revel in getting involved in on going debates of terrific verbal ferocity. i often wonder why. noting else in their lives? a cathartic effect? maybe just a release? who knows. you can't beat it though. you can be smarter, you can even bring the truth or reality into the argument (which is a pretty big trump card around here) but in the end it won't matter because they don't listen. they aren't here to listen or to understand, or for that matter to discuss. they will just keep going on and on in the face of their own deprivity. they will win because they don't quit. so, either give up or just sit back and watch. it is a grand place to watch people and you have a ringside seat.
I made the comment. My guess is that you figured out how to apply it properly on Day 1. I've tried it a few times, but was always put off by the wiper haze. Last time around, somebody said to buff it a lot with newspaper. Same old, same old....
I think I'll try it again though - using the microfiber cloth after letting it set up for a few hours. When the stuff works, it *really* works.... it's just that darn haze when the wipers are on at nite.
