Made my truck ready for rainy spring days. Lubricated the vacuum wiper motor and removed the original wiper arm springs and replaced them with springs twice as thick and 4 times as strong.

Works like a charm, got cleaner windhsields on my truck than on my car i use daily grin

So really guys, If you have to choose between the good ole vacuum wipers or a new "safer" electic system, with good care and almost no money, you can rebuild the motor and increase the tension on the blades and I think its just as safe as the electric wipers. And it just feels right!

Now i have to place a hoze from the heater to the passenger windhield so i can fight the condensation on the windshields!
