Well excuse my ignorance but why on earth would you need something like that when you have wipers? I just do not see the point

If you have used Rain X you would know how good it can be, a know someone who was going away on holiday and ten miles from home in poaring rain his wipers failed, I took him a bottle of Rain X which he applied to his screen, he was able to proceed with his holiday with no wipers it is that good. You can drive at 70mph in heavy rain and not switch the wipers on and still have very good visibility, should you want to, the rain just beads off. But as others have said, no good on a Freelander 2, it causes the wipers to judder and screetch.

Just fitted some of these only cheap from ebay but have say finding them better than the Land Rover ones.
