windshield wipers.. buy a certain brand..?

***HAWK*** · 01-01-2004, 10:06 PM

ya so it rained the other day and i'm out driving and turn on the wipers, they dont even fukin work the blades wouldn't get any of the water off, it just left streaks on the window and left the water.... so i want to know, is there a certain type i should buy,? or did i just get a bad set of inserts the last time i bought them?... i think im just going to replace the whole blade but i dont know if there are certain brands to look at or just get the ones from walmart like i usually do.....?

thanks

Rain X sucks. I used it once and all it did was leave streaks when I had to use my wipers.

***droppedss*** · 01-01-2004, 10:39 PM

If you do it right, you won't even need to use your wipers. Kevin, don't you live in Cali? How much "heavy rain" do you get?

/me has no wipers either.

when it rains it rains..... cuz it won't turn into snow so it just keeps coming down, i dont think i could away without wipers,

Silent Warrior · 01-01-2004, 11:34 PM

you can find em at Autozone....................but then again this is 1. a company that was in WI so they might only be carried in the Midwest 2. They just got bought out by another company so I dunno how much longer they will be carried if they stop making them

sorry if i sent ya on a crazy mission to find em, I would say just go to Autozone, Checker, whatever ya got around there and pick some up
