Huh--if I'd known that washer failure was common I'd have attended to
the relevant parts while the dash was out last year.

Rain-X works beautifully but it's a pain in the patootie to put on, esp.
for this guy who is too short to reach the upper portion of the
windshield glass. Have the haul out a stepladder. So I reserve the
Rain-X for times when I know I'll be taking a long drive in heavy rain,
like over the Cascades to the Soggy Side of Oregon.
