Tell you what....post the question in Answers and meanwhile I'll go looking for repair information on my databases. My job as Host here is to make sure we stay on topic so that other visitors don't get confused when looking for RainX info. I hope you understand the need for "lane discipline" so to speak. Also in Answers we have some professional technicians who jump in as well. So it's a great place to get a possible answer.

Indeed, you handled that quite well.
 
I would've said something like "soak the part in RainX and all your problems will be solved".

After the experiences I had with Rain-X I wouldn't soak anything in it!

Works great for me.
 
Repells rain and I'm cancer-free!
 
Of course I never had cancer before, but I am cancer-free! LOL

Yeah, I know. Some people like the stuff.
 
I tried it two or three times and I followed directions per the label.
 
I might as well have smeared my windshield with vaseline. It seemed to feed on itself.
 
But then, some people like Armor-All too.

The one thing about Rain-X I will say is the stuff YOU put on is much better than the Rain-X they put on at the carwash. No comparison. Might as well flush the extra $2.50 they add to your carwash bill down the toilet. Just having Rain-x shower over your car as it goes through the car wash does very little and it lasts about 2 weeks.

#219 of 220 Try Water Armour instead by bigjames2

I have tried rain x, but I found you have to reapply it way too often. It "works" for a couple months but the quality of the effect degrades very quickly and doesn't do much after a couple weeks. I found some stuff called Water Armour (www.waterarmour.ca) and it works wonders! It does a lot more things than just bead water, too. It also protects from scratches, UV light damage to the interior, and some other stuff. It lasts for like a year, too. I would highly recommend it over rain x.
