View Full Version : Quality of stock windshield wipers? dinkjs 06-03-2004, 10:57 PM What is all yours takes on the stock windshield wipers? Do they do a decent job or a really good job? What I was thinking when mine is delievered in the next week or 2 is if they dont do a very good job I will just go and buy some top quality micro blades for it mikochu 06-03-2004, 10:59 PM Mine are fine...I haven't seen any PIAA or other brand blades in action, but the stock ones do their job... Futureicon 06-03-2004, 11:04 PM Mine aren't that great. They seem to smear the water and it's a real pain at night when oncoming traffic lights up the windshield. I used Rain-X and it was nice while it lasted but I'm not too happy with the stock blades. ONE_HOT_BOX 06-03-2004, 11:07 PM mine are honestly the best ones ive ever had. i havent bought any super expensive ones before, but ive had the top of the line that the local auto parts store carries, and these are far superior, i wouldnt plan on trashin them, at least not without giving them a try. softrider 06-03-2004, 11:17 PM Apply a coating of Rain-X on your windows and the wipers will do a much better job. Also it's loads of fun to travel down the highway during a rain storm without having to use your wipers. The force of the wind will just blow the rain off when the Rain-X coating is fresh. Al-Truistic 06-03-2004, 11:17 PM They are fine, I guess. I've noticed that if I run them for a while (like 45 mins) the driver wiper starts to drag it's upper tip and looks like it is streaking a mark into the windshield...comes off tho, but not what I would want in a new set of wipers... Have you seen the cool wipers they have for the bB? :? dinkjs 06-04-2004, 03:09 PM They are fine, I guess.

The rear wiper chatters, probably due to the cheapo plastic arm flexing. I also dislike the dribble washer on the rear window. Scion would have been better off to leave the rear wiper off entirely, save a couple of bucks, and avoid the quality issue. In the meantime, does anyone know of a better quality metal arm that will fit the Scion? George |
