Do you know if that will damage the rubber at all?  Mine are shot
anyways, but I'd hate for them to actually disolve entirely or
something!

Thats just for the windshield and rear hatch, right?  I know those are
available, and between what RLN has and the cabby-scraper-trick I
should be able to take care of the door windows, but there are still
