San Diego Winter Problem #2: Rotted Windshield Wipers
All that windshield wipers really do in San Diego is sit on your car and rot in the sun all year. Then when it rains for the one day of the year that it rains here in paradise, they scratch up your windshield. I mean, etched lines running back and forth across your windshield like a diamond on glass.
So, you run out the next day and buy new wipers, and they rot in the sun all year until the next time in rains the following Winter. In reality, you probably shouldn't even have windshield wipers at all in San Diego. Just leave your car alone on the rainy day, and save a ton on replacing scratched windshields.
The other option, which actually works quite well is to prepare your windshield with Rain-X Rain Repellant and just speed like you normally do and watch the droplets of water just cascade off your cars.
Side note: Auto parts stores in San Diego don't carry wipers. You have to special order them if you can even find a salesperson who knows what you are talking about -- usually someone older, who remembers water falling from the skies way back in '82, when it rained for three days. Three days!
