The 1908 FA Cup Final was played at Crystal
Palace
The omens looked bad when before the match the ground was
lashed with rain, sleet and heavy snow showers. But just before the kick off
the skies cleared and a crowd of 75,000 watched Wolves win 3-1 in bright
sunshine.
Something good came of the snow showers, however. One Wolves
supporter, Captain Gladstone Adams, drove to the match in his motor-car, something
of a novelty in those days. But as he drove through the snowstorm he struggled
to see where he was going as the snow stuck to his windscreen, and he was
forced to fold down his windscreen. That gave him the idea for inventing the
windscreen wiper, which he patented in 1911.

Very good!
The windscreen is one of the most delicate parts of a modern car, despite the fact that it's usually made with durability and sturdiness in mind.
