[Shotimes] Headlight washers

[Ron Porter]

I can't say that w/w are something that I tend to look at!!

Dunno, but my experience in the rain is as you described......my 911's
washers are worth a s**t for getting off road spray in warm weather after a
rain, and they would be worthless for getting off salt crud in the winter.

You are probably right on the new 911s. With the shape of the headlight, a
wiper would be tough to design.

Yes, only washers as mentioned.  But I do see a lot of new
cars with just washers.  I have seen fewer and fewer imports
with wipers on the front.  I think volvo may be one of the
few hold-outs on that.  Doesn't the newer 911 have just washers?
