    Winter wiper blades. They make it harder for ice to accumulate on the wipers.

    Rain-X

    You guys all know that ACE Hardware has key blanks for all big rigs, right? They have the blanks with the plastic and the ones without the plastic. They also sell the magnetic key boxes in a large enough size for the truck keys.

    Problem is, those key boxes sometimes fall apart. I keep mine on the side of the radiator low to the frame so it won't fall off.

    I've used the pear shaped wire shower curtain hooks to keep keys on a vehicle since high school. The only drawback is finding a hole to fit it through. I've never had one fall off because they lock back on themselves. I can't remember how many magnetic boxes I've bought and had fall off or brittle zip ties that have broken and lost keys. I just bought a new pack from Ace here a while back to put keys on my kids' vehicles.
