Winter/ Summer Windshield Wiper Modes (PICS)
This has probably been talked about before but I'm posting this anyway.............
I just realized that there are winter & summer windshield wiper modes....... I had no idea!
For the longest time I've wondered why the hell my wipers seemed to be stuck a few inches from the bottom. Well, now I know! For those of you who didn't know this, all you have to do is push down on both wiper arms at the same time with some pressure and they will pop down into the summer setting. Pull up on both of them for winter mode.

How are those RainX blades? Do they have even wipe coverage and last long?
I had some Bosch Icons which wiped great at first, but started streaking as little as a month after I bought them. They got pretty bad after 2-3 months, so I switched back to the stock spider frames and just bought some rubber inserts from Lexus.

Nice post. Not a lot of people know about this "feature".
How do you like your Latitude's? How much are those anyway?
I was thinking about getting some Icons, actually the cheaper version called Evolutions.
