it's been raining alot here too and I've got Rain-x on my windshield too but the brand new wipers are almost too good! they wipe all of the rain away on the first swipe up and back down they grab so tightly that they squeak!!! trick is to not drive in the rain if you can avoid it, these cars just aren't meant to be driven, keep the miles off them, remove the wipers to save weight, and spend your free time waxing and washing it.
