New Unforeseen Problem

so about 10 mins before school lets out it decides to drop 6inches of rain here, so heavily raining that the windsheild wiper couldnt keep up with it.

so has anyone upgraded or modified theirs to keep up with heavy rain? my wifes lil economy car has damn turbo wipers im sure theres got to be a way to adapt them to our car.

Yeah, the wipers aren't the fastest things out there, but short of fabricating a custom mount for a wiper motor from some other car and then figuring out how to wire it to work with the existing system, there's not much you can do that's easy or straighforward that I know of.

+1 to the rainX

i use it on everything, and LOVE it.

i rarely use windshield wipers anymore, and only the HEAVIEST rain will cause you an issue.

RainX for sure. I have to turn on my wipers every once in a while just to make sure the motor is still functioning.
