[s-cars] Wiper blade possibility

[Wylie Bean]

Folks,
I know there was a thread about keeping blades down at high speed .....well 
Matt Rooke may have found an option... as these have the built-in foil 
design.  I looked at them closely at a local parts store chain but they were 
priced at full retail, so I denied myself the pleasure.

Matt's been around the 20v.org list about as long as I have, has a 20v turbo 
cq, and also owns an S4 and an UrS6 Avant.

Here's his post from the 20v list:
