    I have mine in the car still. I just run the driver's side wiper. I just throw it on if it's actually raining right before we go to grid.

    I'd like to drop 10#, bUT not at the expense of function. Can you guys clarify how the wipers help vs Rain X alone? I'VE never had wipers functioning in the red dragon.

    I think they help as the white car has wipers and I know I have used them. My question is whether rain tires are worth it? I have two rain tires and debating getting two more with my toyo money or get rid of the two so I have fewer tires/wheels around.

    +1 for wipers. My first car did not have them. I added them to the second car and did not regret it. I had them wired to a simple on/off switch. You don't need delay, intermittent, etc. Just FAST and off.

    RainX won't get rid of mist. The water must have some profile before the wind will push it up the window.

    They're not worth it, get rid of them to me so I only have to buy two.
