[urq] urq Digest, Vol 29, Issue 1

[Claus Vegener]

Have you considered using products like "Rain-Away" or " Rain-X".
On the front window, you only have to use wipers 2 or 3 times a day when you 
start in the morning (depending on speed) but above 50 km/h dust and rain 
just rool of the window.
It is a sort of nano technologi.
Using these products on the front headlight have the same effect.
In doubt of it works? Try using it on only half the windshield (drivers 
side) and nothing on the other. You will se the difference in 1 day even on 
a dry day.
One treatment last a month. There is for a year in a bottle for 8 Euros and 
a failing wiper is not a serious problem.
