Hello,

I purchased a 03 accord in febuary. I live in northren MN, so we definaly
see a very wide varity of weather. I haven't had any trouble with wipers or
with the windshield. I have gone through quite a bit of snow, salt, gravel,
and rain (no hail yet knock on wood). I have had some small peices of gravel
hit my window from road construction, they made a loud sound but didn't
leave an identifiable mark on the window. I guess my biggest problem with
the car is cleaning all the dead bugs off the window. I drive quite a bit
and have put on about 10,500 miles since getting the vechile. All in all I
find it to be a nice car.

Mike
