Rain-X or new wipers?
Its supposed to rain tomorrow and probably will for the rest of winter like normal.
I took my wipers off. The whole thing. Both of them. I can't remember what I did with em. I wan't to use rain-x, and i've got some. But the problem is I got pulled over awhile back, and was told that I needed wipers. Now how good does rain-x work? Will I need to get my wipers back on?

In my opinion rain-x is no replacement for windshield wipers, doesn't last long.

I'm curious. What is the largest size wiper anyone has put on these trucks? The windshield is kinda small compared to newer models. The wipers I have now are really small. I'm going to go larger for better viewing but I'm sure how big I can go.

Rain-x is worth what you pay for it. It helped me, but would never work as a replacement for wipers!

You took your wipers off?
You must really do live in Sunny California! I wouldn't be able to get away with removing my wipers for very long here in the midwest.
Anyway, you need to get new wipers. It's a good idea to replace them anyway, they'll work much better.

HEHEHE, yeah, i've had them off since April. And today was the first rain we've had since then. I'm gonna have to go search the garage for the wipers. I may just put some rain-x on there anyways just to help out. Thanks guys!
