Welcome to IWETHEY!

Post #81,550 by Andrew Grygus 2/13/03 9:28:32 PM Reply	Arrrrrgggggghhhhhh! It's been raining, often rather hard, since Tuesday morning. Fortunately, I went up on the roof and repaired some minor shingle damage from the high winds on Monday. Wednesday evening I went out and started the car - NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS! There were lulls today, so I was able to drive down to Burbank and got a repair manual. Sure enough, a square box marked "Solid State". It's about a $6 part, so of course they want $125 for it - but no-one has one - special order. It's raining NOW and I have a "must go" install in the morning. Sawed the old one up for the connector. Windshield Wipers are now controlled by a switch from an old PC power supply. Just one speed, but that's the only speed I ever used anyway. So, how am I? Wet and overworked, and waaaaaay behind schedule, but otherwise just fine. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

At\r\nhighway speeds (well, highway speeds other than in LA), the rain just\r\nbeads and is swept off your windshield in the slipstream. The effect's\r\npretty good above 30-35 MPH even, so you can get by in a pinch. Even\r\nstanding still, rain tends to glide off rather than stick, so you can\r\nsee out. \r\n\r\n The wipers on my truck ('91 Toyota Xtra Cab) have a tendency to lose\r\nadhesion to the windshield at 60+ MPH, so this actually gives me better\r\nresults than blades. Highly recommended. \r\n --\r\n Karsten M.
