I will get sillicon blades once the original goes....

But so far so good, cause I always wax/wipe the windscreen after waxing the car. (just use the cloth with wax stains....)

Regarding the washer bottle, do you put anti freeze inside if its going to be cold and below 0? Last time I went to the snowfields, the bottle of water I left in the car become frozen over the night...
