Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79
Since I don't have the time or patience to fix my broken windshield washer bottle, I decided to go with the cheap and easy fix...

Armor All Window Wipes! Why fuss with a bottle of windex and a roll of paper towels!! I'll just use these as a quick solution to the problem!

Vette(s): Re-acquired 1982 Bright Blue Vette from the guy a sold it to 13 years ago. 1993 40th Anniv. Ruby Convertible- purchased for my wifes 40th birthday-It has Chromed Grand Sport Wheels, Grand Sport Flares and a functional rollbar.
I tried that RainX stuff on mine. The water beads up on flows off nicely. I have found only in the heaviest rains do I even need to use the wipers. Of course it would be nice if the washers worked but the RainX has been an easy way to keep the window clear when it's raining. Bugs and such are another problem. I'll try the wipes.

Vette(s): 1979 Black coupe. 11256 original, documented, miles on it when I bought it in April of 2000. It now has 13100 on it. Oyster interior, like new. Everything original, everything works, except the clock. Paint has a couple of minor flaws.

When you get bugs on the window, get some windex, and give those two young ladies some paper towels, and tell them to get to work. |laugh| I sure that will go over real good... |cheers|
