It was raining (still is) cats and dogs today and most likely all of tonight. Winds were very strong throughout the day. In fact, the road leading towards my home in Millbrae was filled and covered with leaves, branches and other debris! Well, as I was driving home from work on US 101 South, I have never felt so safe during such a storm in my ML than any other car I have been in. The ML did not move or jerk one bit from the strong winds while driving 60MPH. Also, with the WeatherTech side deflectors, our windows did not fog up one bit! The interior was nice and dry with the window cracked 1/2 inch open. Great upgrade for only $80 measley dollars!

Stay dry! Thanks. [:D]
I don't know where you were driving but I went to a dinner party in Hillsborough and my car was tossed left and right on the 280. I almost ran into a downed eucalyptus tree on Hayne Rd. The coolest thing was trying out the rain sensing wipers for the first time.
You really haven't had the chance to try it since August? man you folks must
have had a very dry summer. They're pretty cool. I would like to know how the rain sensor works. I was once told that it's based on the difference in the refraction coefficients of rain (water) on glass vs no-rain on glass. Somebody, talk dirty technical to me, please.

86 degrees! It's currently 61 degrees in downtown SF and wet, very wet!! Man....you guys get the warm weather, the cool beaches, the hot hawaiian chicks, and fresh coconuts! You're tempting me, Gary.......[;)]
The Hella article answers Darmann's question, same principle on the MB.
Other subject, you may be surprised with headlights on 'Auto' in the fog. Day break conditions will confuse the system with the relection from the fog droplets. If you need lights then, you must force to manual.
