Message:
Does anyone else have any problem's finding decent wiper blades? I mean every time i replace my blade's about two month's later they start to sh!t the bed, especially the passenger side. There's like a three inch gap in the middle of the windshield where through out the range of movement the wiper does'nt remove any water. Same for the driver side but in different spot's. Any suggestions?

Same thing happens to me. Espically living in AZ, cause the rubber just gets warped. I just change them as often as needed. I haven't really found a good blade, just crap ones.

You may want to do a search on the Internet for "silicone wiper blades".

I have silicone blades on all my vehicles and they last about 2 years, even in the heat of summer. They don't rot like rubber or crack and dry out. They stay nice and soft no matter what.

Regards, ARG

Ditto on the Tricos. I also have had good luck using RainX windshield solution (helps the blades work better) and Protectant 303 for reconditioning the blades.

Aren't the wipers different lengths (L&R) - like 19" right side, 20" left side?

Yeah, use the service road, just kidding, my latest wiper problem is one of the metal bars that run along each side of the wiper keep's coming out. Has'nt come all the way out yet, i guess thats when i'll break down and buy a new set.

Get the tripledge wipers from Walmart. Lifetime Guarantee, just mail back to the company and they send you a new set. No problems. Either buy a 2nd set of tripledge to use when waiting for new ones or a real cheap set. Either way, will cost less over the long term than buying new blades every two months.

3.55 rear, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, all possible fluids are AMSOIL
