  • windshield wipers

    Curious, what kinda windshield wipers you guys use on your cars and what size?

    I got the stock ones on but I hate em... and I hate how long they are, they really suck come winter time when they freeze up and only grab half the window...

          I know this sounds a bit like a rice thing, but I think a single windshield wiper modification would look alright on an F-body, because of the ridiculously large front wind screen. Correct me if I'm wrong.

            is that even possible on our cars?...I think those are prone to having the motors burn out no?

            I wouldnt really consider that rice, lot of mercedes have them I believe.

              The ones are the mercedes are actually quite cool. It's more than just a hinge point, the wiper actually dips down in the center of the motion to produce a straight line at the top of it's travel. Kind of cool to watch on high speeds.

              I'd never put one wiper on an f-body.

                I don't drive my camaro in the winter so I only speak from experience with other cars, but smaller wipers would probably clear the windshield much better. Also think about adjusting the aim of your wiper fluid nozzle. Your wipers might not be cleaning the entire windshield due to poor lubrication of the wiper fluid.

                And, I've been using the reflex blades for two years now. I find it differs from vehicle to vehicle, but I've had pretty good experience with them. They're more expensive, but worth trying IMO.

                  Yea I'd like to go to the reflex...but according to the book at canadian tire they dont make a size for us...my only issue is in winter...it seems like the blades are so long they freeze in a certain position (whereever they were left on the window...usually the bottom where there supposed to be) take that shape and then doesnt clean the damn thing. I think with a smaller blade it will still freeze, but it wont warp as much maybe, I dunno

                    My dad's Lincoln has heated windshield wiper blades for that reason.

                    The bosch Icons look pretty cool. A guy in my car club has them but I haven't talked to him about how they work.
