Couple Little Problems with Roadster in Bad Weather

Recent spate of rain and low temps in San Francisco made me realize a couple of little problems:

1) Factory Windshield Wipers Stink: Replace them. The factory ones act like an old car's windshield wiper. Make sure replacements work. Check the Lotus forums for what works on Elise. I don't want to push any particular brands, but one windshied wiper was pushed more than others on the Elise. That is the one I tried and it made a world of difference.

2) Interior Fogging: Seems to be a big problem. No rear window defroster and windshield defroster both using energy and being load compound the problem. I would highly recommend putting an anti-fog spray on the interior windows and windshield

I too put anti-fog goo on the interior windows, as well as rain-repellent goo on the windshield and side mirrors (I used Rain-X, but there are others). Have not had need to use the wiper yet, but hopefully the rain repellent will help me out when the time comes.
