Re: windsheild wipers

x2, how are they breaking? I like the Anco winter blades, but will more than likely be changing soon.

Re: windsheild wipers

I just put them on and when I get in the rain, i turn them on and after a few trips back and forth the cheap plastic that is supose to hold them in place breaks. Of course they aren't the expensive ones, cheapos but still pay money for something and they break. What's up with things anymore. I wanna buy stuff and not worry about "are they going to break? AM I GOING TO GET STUCK IN RAIN WITH NO WIPERS. I hate thinking about it.

Re: windsheild wipers

I never had a wiper break. In AZ, the rubber degrades in a few months, so I just get the cheapest ones I can find. Keep a spare cheap set for when yours break. I got a set of new fangled ones from Costco, but have not tried them yet - Rain X Latitudes - I have that style on the new vehicles I have purchased in the last couple of years and they seem to wipe the window better.

exactly the same here. never fails the one time it rains, you have rubber strands dragging behind your wipers.
