[DeTomaso] Wiper System Upgrade?

[Julian Kift]

Charlie,


I've always used Rain-X in the past, its great in true rain and with some speed allows water to ball up and forced over the roof. It isn't as good in slow traffic and with a light drizzle.


Reminds me of the time I took the GT5 to a track day, one of those rain or shine events and hell did it rain. I have never been so scared in my life, but the experience in a controlled environment with some runoff room was well worth it!


Julian

So I'm as good as I’ll get for this trip, we have wipers, the wife will be
happy.... but I got to thinking I haven't seen any discussion on a modern
alternative to the Lucas system, has anyone retrofitted something that
doesn't involve hacking up the grill and trunk? Or is a new Lucas 14W as
good as it gets?

*****Rain-X.

Joking aside, my wipers work reasonably well, and combined with regular
applications of Rain-X I think that I can see reasonably well in the rain.
Still absolutely hate driving in the rain if there's standing wáter due to
the lack of feeling and sensation that I'm going to aquaplane at any second,
but at least I can see the tree that I'm about to hit?
