WARNING AGAINST Rain-X 2-In-1 Washer Fluid!
I recently bought Rain-X 2-In-1 Washer Fluid and quickly noticed it’d cause my windshield to become hazy and ‘white-out’ with a film during use.
I googled and came across many reported problems with the product, including confirmation of what I was seeing, which causes a safety hazard, as well as a class action lawsuit stating that the product can cause damage washer fluid level sensors in ONE USE. WTF. https://www.classaction.org/rain-x-lawsuit https://raysands.wordpress.com/2008/...rainx-residue/ I now want to empty my whole washer fluid reservoir, but want to know if there’s a way to do so without the wiper arms moving. Please advise ASAP. Thank you. |

Anyone know if it's safe to run rubbing alcohol through the system to clean it out?
I have a feeling the nozzle jets aren't outputting a strongly as before this junk. |

I had the same issue in prior vehicles. I tried because the technology was a great idea, however the application resulted in the same issue as what you encountered. I started purchasing the single windshield applications and they worked just as well without the film. You're also better off using Rainex windshield treatment. That works better than the washer fluid.
