Default Wipers and spray

Rather minor but I am amazed at how QUIET the wipers are during movement and how the spray covers majority of window. In my prior cars, the wipers have been noisy and the spray more like two bullet shots to 1 square inch of coverage.

But I would have liked a hatchback wiper. Had it on my Highlander and it came in handy on several occasions. However, it might detract from the "appearance".

Still loving the flint mica tC!

i agree, a back wiper woulda been cool but it puts it one step towards being a full-out hatchback. the wipers themselves are loooong.

I think the wiper blades are high quality similar to blades in high end german made cars. It has low resistance to friction whcih makes it slide smoother on the glass= less noise.

And they work great, too... I feel like I just drove through a torrential downpour yesterday and they did a remarkable job of keeping up. In light rain, the blades are whisper quiet. Impressed!

I would rather have a rear wiper. I hate having to wait for the defroster to kick in. My only other complaint is the crappy shift **** (TRD shift **** is on order)

That's how new wipers are supposed to be. I don't know about you guys, but I change my wipers once a year (which is how long you're supposed to keep them on before changing them).
