Mine leak. I suppose I should make more of an effort to appreciate the
subtle elegance of cracking the 'wind wings' as opposed to just hanging
my arm out the window like a yahoo, but I can't help but feel that its
just another gadget that's prone to failure. Less is best.

Re: 4WD (Cherokee?) recommendations please
You know, the wind wing was a must for the smoker and their
passengers. I don't know what was wrong with your cherokee, but my '78
Bronco never leaked, nor any of the other of the cars I've owned. Just
another step towards the cheap Japanese import. Look how clean an old
car looks with them: http://www.----------.com/53olds58ford.jpg
