The Bosch Micro Edges are fine for me, and at $20 for both, they're not bad...wipers are a safety item, as much so as brakes or tires. I'm amazed by how many people drive (faster than they should) with smearing wipers.

I think for people who get in with wet/snowy shoes, tray-style rubber floormats would be good. Volvo has some excellent ones that my parents just use year-round. I have to look into some for my car after I get other stuff taken care of...

If you daily drive your car year round in the Northeast, there's no getting around it.

Juan: Sonax make a 'wax' if you will for automotive glass that prevents them from fogging up under any condition, can't remember the name of that product though.

i'm looking into it.

i assume it's a hole near the battery tray. i had some sound installed by Best Buy, and let's just say that they're not exactly....ivy league grads.

my mechanic would have told me of a leaky heater core.

my mech. never misses an opportunity to fix my car/make more money.

I bet they put a hole through your firewall and that is were the water is getting in.

Juan,
Are you driving it to the City tonight or tomorrow? Get that water out of there ASAP or put it on eBay as the Worlds Nicest Pearl White Terrarium. Wet floors will cause much more harm than just fogged windows.
