Never ever forget your good old friend... RAINX Crap really works! If I still ran vacuum wipers on ANYTHING. I would add RainX to the trunk kit! I put it on my vehicles when I remember. I have driven in a driving rain at night going at highway speeds and not turned the wipers on! Now, I do not recomend this practice. I only did it for the see if I could aspect of it. Yep, Vacuum wipers? RAINX. Could someone send me my endorsement check now? :) -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrac II " I realize that death is inevitable.
