Default Quick question...

Well my windshield wipers aren't working as good as they used to, and i'm thinking of getting some new ones. Is there a certain brand i should buy or are they all the same. Now that i come to think about it, the stang is the only car i've held onto long enough to require new wipers after all this time....

I usually just get the cheapest ones but last time I changed them to a higher quality like a premium version of them and they work so much better........so thats my 2 cents

I got some real good ones from NAPA, like $10 a piece but well worth it. Crystal clear after they wipe.

Have you tried cleaning the blades. Ive had the same ones for 2 years and they work fine, plus i live in florida and they get a lot of use. When i get done cleaning my windows i wipe off the blades, it works really good....takes off a ton a black ****.

I use Trico. They are OEM replacement. They work just as good as stock, if not better.

Yeah same here, but I rainX the car everytime I wash it, and rarely use the blades, unless it's pouring...rainX is the ****!...

my buddy bought some rain-x wipes and they streak on the driver side everytime on the way back up. just get the cheapos and if for some reason they suck, the store will always let you return them. just hold on to the packaging for a couple of days
