Concerning the fabric softener sheets, I think its the combination of the coarse textured cloth and the chemicals they use. It takes a little effort on some of the larger bugs, but it is still better than any other product I used. I just learned about using the sheets on an RV site. They are also good for keeping mice and ants out of campers (or vehicles). There was a post on another forum that gave about 100 uses for both new and used fabric softener sheets. Pretty interesting.

 

That is EXACTLY why I asked.

I remember when I first saw an ad for it thinking " hey, isn't that gonnna crack the glass " ?

 

yup.. and i'd rather ask a question like that as well, rather than spend the money on the unit, and then the replacement of a windshield in the dead of winter.


for some american states, i'd think that it doesnt get cold enough to be hurtful, but when you live in northern canada, yeah, 120 degree fluid being sprayed onto a -40 degree windshield.. NOT smart. but they dont think about these things when developing products, and I bet it doesnt say anything inside the manual.

 

list of why NOT to get it...

1... Cracked Windshields

2... Doesn't do JACK for bugs

3... There are better fluids for ice anyway

4... A good way to remove bugs is by using a dryer sheet

5... Everyone will laugh at you for having it or at least i will.

 

6. why spend money on something, when pissing on the windshield yields the same result.

 

Gee I wonder what the RCMP will have to say if they pull over and your standing on your hood pissing on the windshield.

Actually lets make that one #7 as it would be alot more interesting than buying a windshield washer heater

 

One more reason to bring beer along when you're 4-wheelin' ... I've had the experience of standing on my buddy's CJ-8 Scrambler hood ... "washing" the mud off of his windshield when he ran out of washer fluid while out wheeling.

Of course ... you could just add washer fluid to the list ... but where's the war story in that? [8D]

 

I might have one off an 92 power ram. idk if its the same but the coolant one was the same. ill look tomorow.

 

thanks Tani, let me know what you have. wow, i was gone for 2 days and did this thread ever get hijacked!!! so no one else has one for a 94+ Ram?

 

i bought an aftermarket bottle and motor from murrays..it was cheap and squirts harder..but i had no choice sink i yanked the shroud...i just dont know where the original one went...
