c'mon, z06joe, spill the beans.

are you producing "smoothed/painted" wiper cowls? and if so, how much?

Bluefire

I live in Oregon so, yes, I use them. My guess is that there are a bunch of $50,000 - $100,000 Vettes that rarely see daylight, let alone rain. I don't understand it, but to each is own.

0Z06Joe@AutoBuffs

As of right now we're not producing them, but there is always a possibility

GRUNIE

My thoughts exactly

Sorry to say Shirl but I have used my wipers many times....I love my vette but I also love to use it

Shagster

Im Not.... No wipers for me!!!

0Z06Joe@AutoBuffs

Oh... ya think.....

Too much rain here in the south to consider going wiperless...+ there would be tickets for driving in the rain without them (even with rain-x). However, if I lived where I could do that I would be begging Joe for that smooth cover - the OP solution looks too unfinished for my taste.

I don't think mine came with wipers. At least I've never seen them.

Shirl

Try it! Less weight = faster car

Really just a "looks" thing.. but it looks pretty cool. Mine doesn't go out in the rain.. I like the rain-x idea though, just in case!

Ever seen a pelican training camp? They spend hours learning how to pinpoint the just washed, freshly waxed vehicles. They've gotten pretty good - and they love C5s... especially metallic red.

I'm thinking about investing in a gamma ray deterrent system for when the top is down.

even tho my z0 is for all intents and purposes a "DD", i still pull my wipers off and use vacuum hose caps to cover the wiper stems when i KNOW there isn't a possibility for rain (ok, i got caught in a sprinkle once and had to race home....lol).

so Z06Joe, if you ever contemplate producing the "smoothed" cowls, please post up the info.

i think it's one of those ideas that nobody thinks about until they see it and then the floodgates would be opened.

take care,

I use rain-x, no need for wipers over 35 mph.

oakvillec5

While agree that Rain-x is a great product, what happens when you slow down below 35mph? Wipers a must here in Southern Ontario, I like to drive my car and sometimes get caught in the rain. If I left it inside last season for fear of rain, it would never be out!!

I rarely use my wipers but they are still on the car. I keep the windshield well rain-xed. They are still a nuisance though when you wash the car and all the small parts are dripping water after you dried the car. I recently discovered a cure. I've replaced the wipers on my pickup with Michelin's single blade wipers, which happen to work great and last much longer than conventional wipers. My truck is my wet weather vehicle. It occurred to me that these wipers would be a great improvement on the Vette because they would be easier to dry and visually there is much less mass to see on the cowl. Really makes the area look cleaner, but you still have your wipers should you unexpectedly need them. Cheap, too. $13 each at Walmart.

mine is a daily driver and for months i used rain-x due to a bad windshield wiper motor. Works great. Got my motor replaced and now have other issues :-(

I used my wipers maybe twice since i owned my vert, but i like them on

corvettebob1

I live in NE Florida being caught without wipers would be suicide in our rain that can come on with the drop of a hat.
Rainx or not!
BTW, it also qualifies you for a defective equipment ticket.

arkus

The cops wouldn't even realize that there are no wipers

Jharry pope

i live in south central florida and we gets tons of rain, never been pulled over. love rain-x
