Driving in the Rain, I’m Just Driving in the Rain

We have been getting quite a bit of rain the last few days, with more one the way. I always remember I need to get new windshield wipers or I need to clean my windshield when the rain arrives.

In light of the rain that’s been drenching Abilene here are a few ways to keep your vehicle rain ready:

Check your wiper blades regularly. Heat and sun, something we get lots of in Texas in the summers, can cause them at age faster. Look for cracking, stiff or brittle rubber, and lack of flexibility. Change the blades if you notice these signs of age and wear. The NHTB suggest you change your wiper blades every year.

Consider using Rain-X or a similar product to help improve visibility in the rain. It’s particularly useful during heavy downpours!

Keep the interior windshield clean to reduce fogging when it rains. There are actually anti-fog products which work pretty well.

I personally am a big fan of rain-x. My dad always use to apply it to my windshield for me when I was younger and I use it about twice a year these days. Do you have any tips for keeping you and your car ready for the rain?
