Do It Yourself

preventing hapless drivers from telling where the heck they are going.

Now this can be simply solved by taking out a jar of warm soapy water and getting to work on the wind screen when you get home from work in the dark and the dead of winter. Another choice is to utilize some form of washer fluid based on alcohol to help dissolve the ice and salt mixture clouding the wind screen but again unfortunately this simple step will afflict the life span of your rubber wiper blade massively, you see they just aren’t engineered for these kinds of conditions. Or perhaps if I was more of a Machiavellian person I would guess the manufacturers were easily enforcing this kind of planned obsolescence product in order to maintain a constant flow of new customers. This type of practice is wide spread, not just in the wiper blade industry, fortunately there is an answer, silicone wiper blade, these do not wear, these do not suffer from the effects of salt or ice, and they are extremely long lasting.
