wow, RainX works that well? My problem with the wipers has always been that the spring must be getting weak because they don't go down as far as I think they should and when I'm doing anything over 80mph (yes, i speed) the pass. side espescially starts to shake and gets pushed up an inch or too.. my wife complains cause she can't see over the wiper!

From living in Tampa Bay for a few years, yes RainX works that well. Just keep reapplying it. It works in even the worst of rain storms and mists.

I know of a 944 Turbo guy here in Az who just took the wipers off and put a plastic cover on the exposed bolt. Gave it a really clean look, but he could carry the wipers and install them in 5 mins if needed.
My race car runs without wipers most of the time, but I still have all the motors so that I can install the driver's side wiper if needed. In nearly 6 years I have only used the wipers twice. Well worth it on both accounts even with rain X. One wiper does work good for driver visibility at least on a track.

I have a 20" blade on the driver's side and 18" on the passenger's side. 18" on both would be fine too, but I wanted to see if that combo would fit, and it does. I have the P/N's for everything, BTW.
