You know....I've never used my wipers...well, maybe twice cause I bumped the stalk while cleaning or something.
I have no idea if the squirters even work...never tried em.

The day I do get caught in the rain I'll wished I'd replaced them anyway!

I'll second that. I had them install shocks and a battery in my DD a Dodge PU. They charged me the wrong price (they had an advertised price in a local Ad and they charged me full price) I had to argue with them for 20 minutes to get the right price. On the way home my hood flew up (they didn't latch it properly) and I noticed they didn't give me the battery I ask and paid for) so I had to go back and argue with them on that. They said the battery I ask for was not the correct battery for the truck and they just put in the correct one. I said I don't care what you thought. I ask and paid for a particular battery and thats the battery I want (they were trying to sell me a lower Amp hour rated battery). They then told me that were out of that battery. So I made them put my old battery back in. After a week or so I started to have some rattles comming from the back of the truck, and had to go back to pep boys and have them tighten the shock bolts. Needless to say I have not gone back to them for anything.

my friends think im nuts because im the same way. I tried the wipers on the roadtrip home (under a rainshower).

since then, all glass is polished and rain-x'd monthly.

It sucks to let a company have your money free for 6-8 weeks. Plus you always run the risk of the rebate being lost in the process.

Got a feeling they might be closing in this area. They stopped their ads in local papers and when you go to their site online they have nothing on sale and no rebates for this area!

Well I bought them for my Blazer actually and so far no problem.They were 20" wipers. If the Vette has the same size I will buy another pair and keep them. I usually go to the dealer and get the AC DElco's for both and have not had a problem with them.
