- winter wiper blades

[Larry C Leung]

Even after living seven years in the snow belt, I never found that winter
blades
were terribly necessary. I found Rain-X seems to work fine in conjunction
with
standard blades, and the added benefit arises from the fact that you
scratch
your windsheild less due to less wiping of the inevitable inbedded dirt
that
ends up in your blades. Not saying your solution is a bad one, but I
personally
rarely had an issue with winter visibility. Well, Rain-X and a good set
of lights.
