Best Windshield Wiper Blade?
Anyone have a suggestion for a good wiper blade for the A?
I know many of them flop and float in the wind and provide very poor wiping motion while in use. I have an elec 6v motor and I'm looking for a good clean sweeping blade. If I have to modify the arm, that's Ok. Getting caught in a shower or downpour is not fun with a wiper that for all intense and purposes doesn't work! I know, Rainex is your friend but for me, a good blade is better! |

It is the arm spring tension that makes the blade work properly. Analyze the faults there for good wiping action.

Make sure that your windows are surfaced with Rainex! More often than not I don’t need the wipers! Rainex does the job!

J Franklin....thanks. I'll check into that. I get good lower coverage but the top is lacking.
J McMimmcs.....Rainx is Ok but I hope to get the blade to do better. As mentioned above, the lower half is really good. It's the upper half giving me grief. |

Ditto on Rainex spray; wipers best use seems to be ornamental.

There are different wiper blades for different wiper arms. I had to buy a couple of different ones to find the one that fit my wiper arm.
