I don't think the wipers on my W126 are any slower then my 99 Jetta, and they are definitely faster then the wipers on my 92!

Agree - all three of my W126's have quick wipers. I do love Rain-X though!! It isn't all that easy to put on but it is WELL worth the effort.

I was wondering why all the folks on the road were driving so slow until I got into my friend's car and he couldn't see squat!! But that was when it was busy dumping 18" of rain on Augusta, GA in two days. Rain-X is fabulous!
