    My sister had them on her Beemer. Admittedly useless, even by the woman who paid for them. lol
    How much good would windshield washer fluid be if we had no wipers? Seriously.

    Again, with with the possible exception of deicing..

    Go dip your hand in some mud, then go to the sink and rinse them off with just water, no rubbing, no towel, no wipers. Let me know how well the mud comes off. Sure not all the mud will come off, but most of it will come off.

    I've never put my truck in mud to hood level.
    With your analogy however, I stand corrected. There would at least be some small off road demographic that would would benefit from a TSS mud removal tool.

    This is more to remove salt spray than anything else, I guess it could be used for mud removal too, but im guessing if your covered in mud, the TSS is not a concern for you.

    I also have a feeling that the cover for the TSS would scratch like hell with any wiping action.

    The sensor window doesn't need to be crystal clear like a windshield to work. Right now I have washer fluid in a small bug spray bottle to periodically flush the TSS sensor and backup camera of salt and grime. No wiping needed.

    A few years ago I got a sampler detailing kit at the dealer with a $50 oil change. The small bottle of Toyota-branded glass cleaner worked pretty well but froze overnight a few times this winter :laugh: so I switched to washer fluid rated for -40.

    No bulkhead remover would really work better. IMHO
