Here in Florida it's Love Bug season. I drove 40 miles and my windshield was so plastered with bugs I could hardly see. I swear these bugs have glue in them, I haven't tried rainx yet but I will be soon

i was wondering if a windshield dam thingy like this would help in deflecting those bugs over the windshield

I liked the first one too....but they cant stop a bug thats going straight for the top of your windshield....but it looks killer....they will stop the ones going for the wipers though....and I hate getting dead bugs on wipers cause then when you go to turn your wipers on it smears the dead bug all over your windshield....then your starting from scratch

The Cicadas are coming. The box will be killing cicadas for sure. Woohoo, about 2 more weeks and time to commit mass insect genocide.

Yeah, I like the first one, TCM too, like mine. Anyone noticed the center windshield washer fluid? They only have one :?

Yeah, on our trip from NY to VA and back I found these windex wipes. what I would do at every fill up is use the window cleaner at the gas station to get the bug guts off and of course there's always 2 parts window cleaner to 1 part motor oil in those things, but then I'd use the windex wipe to clean the windows and it worked great.. But, it really needed a lot of cleaning. AND I got a big ol chip on the A Pillar.

Keep a bottle of Armor All Glass Wipes in the xb at all times. You'll need it.
