Dave, if you twist the end of the turn signal stalk, those black arm thingys that hold your cowl down will move to the left and right to squeegee the rain off the windshield.
how do you turn on the back wiper?

This is the most hilarious thread I've read on this site, while at the same time, very useful.
I highly recommend these topics too:
-> ABS
-> Red vs. yellow
-> Most desireable color
-> Stripe vs. no stripe
For those with roadsters ... do they leak?

You forgot one Dave....

Water and dirt are not typically considered corrosive to automotive polymers and elastomers (plastic and rubber compounds). UV light and ozone are.
Moral of story: Stay out of the sun and don't dip your car in ozone.
Plastics and rubber compounds can break down by oxidation which is simply due to the presence of oxygen. So, um, that means air is the needed constituent to promote said oxidation. Compounders blend the plastics and rubbers with anti-oxidants to inhibit the oxidation, but over time they will lose their effectiveness, or just get used up.
Also to consider is that the technology in to plastic and rubber manufacturing and compounding has changed over the years. More better plastic and rubber as science has improved them. So your 15 year old gaskets are not the newest stuff any more on 2 fronts; time and technology.
Man, if I had a nickel for everytime someone told me my stuff is old and outdated
I heard a guy got caught out in the rain in his Viper and the whole thing exploded. Blew his legs off and everything.
