Re: windshield wipers suck
yeah, get a carwash, and clean your windshields good, then put rainX on your front and rear windshields.....you'll never stop using RainX once you start! i've been using it for over a year now, i love it! i apply it every 2 months, although in the winter its hard to put on because i cant seem to keep my car clean enough in the cold weather heh
1) check your wiper's integrity, make sure the rubber isnt ripped or anything
2) take a wet paper-towel and wipe with a sliding motion from top to bottom on the rubber (to clean it)
3) reseat the wipers back on the glass gently
if that doesnt work, then rainX is the way to go

Re: windshield wipers suck
hr0d315,
If you've never used rain-x, let alone even heard of it then you're in for a real treat. It's a chemical that is like super wax for the windshield (F/B). The water just runs right off the glass and 9 times out of 10, you won't need your wipers in the rain. It comes in a yellow bottle with a black top and you can find it virtually anywhere that carries automotive supplies (ie. - walmart, autozone, advanced auto parts, pepboys.....) Please note, YOU WILL BE HOOKED on it for life!!!

Re: windshield wipers suck
Rain-X, and Rain-Away are rain dispersants that are easily applied to all your car windows and headlights. They help disperse rain and improve visibility. If applied properly, in some conditions, it works so well that you don't need the wipers on. Should be available at most hardware and auto parts stores. Try it you'll like it.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I try to keep my wipers clean,adjusted properly, and in good shape too.

Re: windshield wipers suck
hey I used the wipers for the very first time today. I thought they worked great. The wiper was great at evacuating water. One thing I noticed...everytime you turn the wipers off the lever goes a bit far up ang gives you the extra sweep. Anyone notice that?
