Hi Gang! Especially you, Mr. Musk.
I have a marvellous new idea for the giant Windshield Wiper.
Augment the wiper with a high pressure fluid tube. When needed, a press of a button shoots a stream of washer fluid directly intro the area of the window not accessible by the wiper. You still won't be able to pass the wiper over the area but with enough pressure, the area will be cleaned of dirt. A mini-car wash gun is what it is. Thanks for reading!

Also handy when passing black-cloud-spewing trucks with their windows rolled down.

OP great idea and suggestion. Maybe someone can create said idea and implement it as a aftermarket modification.

Thats only applicable for water and liquids, not bird droppings or dirt or any solid type of substance. I have applied GlassParency on all windshields of my current vehicle and former vehicles. RainX going to be installed on the MY, but it only works with liquids again.

If you wanna see thru it when driving into the sun, don't ceramic coat it. Too easy to leave a non-clear residue, GlassParency however is very nice for having the rain blow off instead of sheeting so you don't need the wipers and it leaves only the slightest of traces on the glass.

Why do we want the part that isnt reachable wiped? Just so the truck looks better?

I know right? last I checked, neither myself or my wife see out of the top corners of our current windshields.
least of all on the CT

the “un-wiped portion” isn’t even visible from inside if you wanted to look at it - because it’s covered by headliner/trim (and directly overhead)

not to mention it’s smoked glass there

You won't be able to see incoming dragons in the rain

I'm complaining to NHTSA

It might block the flood light output.
