And please...PLEASE...when it is raining...don't turn on your hazards!

It doesn't make you more visible...it just blinds those around you.

 

Actually when I was in heavy rain a couple months ago I couldn't see crap, and the hazard lights on the cars around me helped a lot. Is it just me or is the fastest wiper speed dangerously slow on our cars?

 

Rain-X..... at 60 mph in pouring rain, you don't even need to turn your windsheild wipers on. In fact I have 20,000 miles on the car, it's been through 1 winter and I'm still on the factory wipers.

 

Castrol Accuvision is much easier to apply than Rain-X.
I've never had problems with Tripledge blades. I have a set of 4+ year old Tripledge blades on my 2000 Crown Vic. It's been through countless rainstorms and snowstorms and sub-0F temperatures without ever giving me problems (daily driver).

OEM/rubber blades tend to freeze up in the winter when exposed to water the night before (rubber is more porous than silicone).
