Re: Frozen Windshield Washer Fluid
Well... when the car was in for inspection today, the washer fluid managed to un-freeze itself... but then we realized that the pump was burned out, apparently from trying to use it with no fluid running through it

its costly? i paid $1.98 for it 2 weeks ago when i ran out of the rain-x debug mix.

If I remember correctly, it is the same price. I've been using the orange Rain-X with no problems. Debug and low temp in one jug.
