And I'm pretty happy! No, seriously, these $2.50 wipers are pretty good. All right, I had to bend the right one (used a hammer), and the left doesn't have spoiler - but who needs it with 55 m/h speedlimits?

Tested tonight @ 80 mph in medium rain - worked no problem

I'm yet to find inserts that would fit OEM wipers, so "The $2.50s" was a temp solution, apparently pretty good one.

Re: rain X

I was thinking - how about puttin' Rain X on side windows? You know how poor side visibility is in the dark with all those drops.
