This is somewhat off-topic

Has anyone seen the new wipers that come on the higher-end mercedes? There are no separate pieces- it's one long piece of thick rubber with an integrated spoiler and a thin strip of metal running through the center. It looks like it should work really well, and it ought to stick to the windshield better than conventional wipers. I wonder if they could be modified to work on other cars?

Just a thought...

Oh, Audi has started using a similar design. I assume this design works at least as well as traditional wipers because one wouldn't want to be driving down the autobahn with crappy wipers while it's raining.
