Windshield Washers

[murray arundell]

Group, Have just had the pleasure of a long drive in the rain. Not something one has to contend with much in this part of the world fortunately. My wipers are pretty hopless. Now I accept that at best they will be pretty useless in heavey rain due to their design. Hence my question........ Have anyone out there managed to modify their wipers to improve performance. I should add that mine are in top condition with a NOS motor recently fitted. All fittings and blades are in top shape. Cheers - Murray Arundell Soaking in Aus.....

Some people (including me) have a problem with Rain-X at night. It works by causing the rain to bead on the glass and roll off or be swept off by airflow. That's fine during the day, but at night the thousands of tiny beads refract light from oncoming cars into a blinding glare. Many people's eyes don't seem to be affected, but it's something to beware of. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G.

Best to just fold the windscreen flat (I assume you don't drive around with the hood up). This way you will get a little extra speed as well!

Here on the "Wet Coast" of Canada rain is a constant companion. I (and I think all other local T types) use and swear by Rain-X. I never leave home without a bottle in the battery compartment. If it's not available in Oz I'm sure some list member will be happy to supply you....

The other problem with Rain-X is that it relies on air to push the water off the windscreen. This works great when you have a steeply angled windscreen like most modern cars, but on a verticle one it doesn't work nearly as well. I suppose Rain-X combined with a wiper, even a T-series wiper, would be pretty good. - Steve S - TC8975, LA, CA

I have experience that dispels this. I drove from California to Vancouver Canada in my old TC with Rainex. I had to drive through a terrific rainstorm near Florence Oregon, and the water just whisked off the windscreen in a very satisfying manner. The windscreen, was, of course, fully upright, as I wanted to use the hood. I do not have any experience using Rainex at night, so I can't comment on the dazzle mentioned earlier. -Rick "Steve S." websim@pacbell.net> wrote: The other problem with Rain-X is that it relies on air to push the water off the windscreen.

I stand corrected sir! My report was from some friends in the hot rod community. They didn't seem to think it worked well for them on their vertical glass. A lot of them use it anyway since they don't like to put things like wipers on their cars. - Steve S - TC8975, LA, CA
