i've had my car for 12k and the windshield wipers started to suck.. they dont clean my window well and leave millions of water streaks behind. i dont understand it.. i dont even use them much, i live in LA. is there warrenty on those babies for a leased coupe?

 

I think the dealer will service them.

 

yep you live in LA.. wind shield whippers are made of rubber.. rubber + heat + dryness = t3h gone.. you can try to get some at a dealer or just go buy some for a few bucks

 

When I lived in Chatsworth I replaced the wiper blades about every 6 months. Love the sunshine but it is death on wiper blades. Never found anything that made them last longer than about three months. Worst case is they actually bond to the windshield in the summer.

 

Oh are wiper blades really covered under warranty?

 

Rain-x. try it some time. if done right it eliminates the need for wipers period.

 

i can vouch for that

 

Go with silicone blades

 

LOL...warranty on wiper blades...LOL

 

you can use silicone lube to keep them rubbery. I live in Arizona and I try to do it every time i wash my car... Just spray a bit on a towel and "squeeze" the blade while running it from top to bottom. Do this for both wipers. It'll double the lifespan of your blades.

 

Heh I hope they have warranty on fuel gas mileage due to the hard accerleration

 

lol @ these posts...hahaha

 

Holly crap, you put 12k miles on a car without replacing wipers and then complain that they are already bad? You just bought a high $30k car, why would you complain about wiper blades? Those usually only last about a year anyway. One winter season, followed by a dry summer will pretty much ruin them. I'm sorry to flame you for that, but that is just rediculous.

 

i don't use my wipers either so i took them off. looks clean

 

Got mine changed at Miller...as long as within one year, its free. But mine were changed because they fcukin scratched the $hit out of my windshield.
