Driving BLIND in heavy rain!

Although the tint is applied to the inside they more than likely cleaned the outside very thoroughly and possibly removed any previously applied water repellent. Apply Rain-X or any other water repellent treatment for windows and you should be good to go.

I did a thorough cleaning and applied RainX. We'll see if it's any better during the next deluge

Dont even need wipers with coated glass. Beads right off the windshield

Agreed... it's not just a Bronco thing. New cars aren't "clean". I travel for work and newer rentals are impossible to see through the windshield. My wife got a new Tahoe 8 months ago and it was the same. I picked up a new Bronco 2 weeks ago and it's also the same. Once the contaminated glass is thoroughly cleaned with a clay bar and treated properly the water has nothing to grab on to so it has no choice but to bead and roll off the glass. A simple clay bar and even a ceramic quick detailer is plenty... just don't allow it to evaporate like you would with a glass cleaner. Make sure to wipe it completely dry.

What you got against RainX!? Lol, I've sworn by it for every vehicle I own. On my bronco I rarely use my wipers in moderate rain. Bosch Envision for the wipers, on my last vehicle I had the same pair of Bosch Envision wipers for 5 years straight without needing to replace them. So far going on a year and a half with this set of Envisions and they're still streak-free. The trick is to just keep cleaning them at every fuel-up. Takes 30 seconds total.
