2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Experience this [dangerous] condition?

[jchapin]

Hi Folks,



While driving through water(puddles, etc. . ) at speeds greater than 15-20MPH, the spray from front wheels land on the windshield. Well, actually I think the spray is directed upwards and towards the center of hood and the apparent wind directs it onto the windshield.



This condition causes temporary 100% blindness regardless of the wiper speed. In larger puddles blindness is not so temporary. #@$%!



Definitely a real hazard though. I'm beginning to have visions of a baby-carriage in my path once visibility resumes...



I ride with Michelin LTX 265/75 tires on a 2001 body.



Is there anything (like those black plastic side fender attachments) that prevent the above from happening?



Any of you have the same problem?



Thanks!

-Jack

My Warn brand fender flares keep it from happening, there are a few other brands to choose from , do a search for flares for lots of info.

Try Rain-X. The washout won't be nearly as bad, or nearly as long.

Works for me, at any rate.

When I hit big snow drifts. Snow tends to do the same thing. Temporary white out.

We don't have to worry about puddles in Colorado... or watering the lawn or washing the cars. I forgot what puddles look like!
