Haha, I had them installed and up and running until I took the car to the shop for paint and the car looked silly with wipers to me. I hoped to retain a little less civilized appearance plus I live where there are about 8 sunny months a year. I won't intentionally drive in the rain anyhow.
Last year my 16 year old son Preston and I travelled in the Beast on a 1700 miles roundtrip to and around the Grand Canyon. Got caught in a huge rainstorm between Kingman and Bakersfiled on the way back but at the 75mph+ highway speeds in that area it all flew over our heads as it ran off the windshield and we stayed dry through it all....would have been a bummer to have had to pull over for any reason or travel through a town...but I intend to get a waterproof cover for just such occasions - my high dual rollbar would keep it over our heads and we could wait it out...I hope
Regards!
