  • Wipers arms

    Does anyone else have any problems with their wipers? Mine work good for the most part, but on the passanger side especially, there's a huge area that it misses for some reason. I can still see the road, but on the passenger side it misses a big patch right in the middle of their veiw. I've tried 4 different sets of replacement wiper blades, and got the wiper arms changed once at the dealership. I can't figure it out, is there any adjustments that I can make to make them press harder on my windshield?

    I have the same problem with mine. I changed the blades when I got the car, and ever since it's missing the same patch in the same spot as yours. I hope someone has an answer for it though.

        I can solve your problem!! When the first 4th gen camaro came out in 93 there was the early 93's and the late 93's. Well my camaro is the early 93 and it has a longer blade. When I was at the auto parts store they tryed to sell me the other ones which gave me the same problem as you guys.Mine alreally had the long ones on them,so I traded them back in for long ones. so get the longer ones for the early 93 camaro V6. They well work super!

          I had this problem with the Bosch micro blades. I switched to the Anco specialty blade. The Anco blades do a great job.

            you should be using a 24inch blade on there...the 22's will not clean the window properly...

                I had a similar problem, drivers and passengers side, replaced with Anco blades and it works perfect now.

                  24" Bosch Micro Edge Excel... pricey now, worth it later.

                  Bought some for my 2000 Firebird a while back, great blades.

                    I had the same problem a few years ago and I tried all of the blades available but none of them would solve the "miss". I still had a dead spot that the wipers weren't getting. I called up Speedautomotive.com and got some wiper arms off of a 98 Camaro. They didn't have the plastic wings and they were lower profile than my '95 versions. Oh yeah, they fixed the problem, too! ;) [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

                      24" blades, specifically designed for the '93-'97 Camaro/Firebird. The newer cars use 24" as well, just not the special ones the older cars did.
