These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is it possible to effectively use Rain-X on our 996 windshield(front & back)? The bottle warns not to use the product on "coated or non-clear surfaces". The OEM glass has a certain amount of tint to it IMO. Does this mean it's "coated or non-clear"? Every make sold probably has a certain amount of tint in the windscreen now... My second consideration is the front wipers which make more noise than a YUGO's now, will the Rain-X make it worse?

POST 2Original post

If you're talking about noisy blades try a little silicons spray on a rag and wipe both sides of the blades and along the edge...or it's time to change to a different compound blade.

POST 3Original post

I used it on mine with no problems. I also have actually waxed my windshields, with the same wax as I use on the car! Works well too.

POST 4Original post

FWIW, any foreign matter on the windshield will hasten the wear on the wiper blades.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the feedback guys.
