[s-cars] Fw: aero blade wipers?

[Jerry Scott]

 Since we are on the subject of wiper blades, here's a trick that will 
extend
 the life of your old blades.  Wipe the blades with WD40 on a rag, when they
 start to rumble and skip on the glass.  I have brought many blades back to
 life with this little known treatment.
