I dont really think this counts as a problem. But a few days ago we had a huge downpour/thunderstorms etc. First time I cranked up the wipers. Thinking to myself " Ahhh nice to have a new car..new wipers work like a charm" :o Driving along happily listening to some tunes... come to a stop light.

I say "DAYYYAMN! This wind is kicking." Palm trees blowing, branches ripping off. Then.. I notice my car is swaying. I said "Dang..this wind is really kicking".

Then I realize the swaying is too "orchestrated" too clockwork. I think to myself... nahhh. I sit very still...turn off the radio. And I feel "it". Cant be. What the hell... I turn off the wipers.


The swaying stops.....

HOLY CRAP?! The wiper motors are prolly just as big as the cars motor is :shock: The wipers were actually causing a 2400lb vehicle to rock ever so slightly to be felt. But they did. It felt almost as if someone was pushing leaning against the car and getting up repeatedly. This was on the fastest lvl too btw. Never felt that on any car before.

Thought Id share that :D

I used mine and they left a black residue over the wiping area of my windshield. I had to scrap it away with a razor :shock:
