    Wiper fix / upgrade

    My original wipers were noisy when changing direction at end of swipe and did not wipe well over 60 mph.
    -
    I have found a fix, I changed my OE wipers for new aero style found as original equipment on Honda, Lexus, and Subaru late model cars.
    -
    They work great . Are completely silent, Very aerodynamic, and wipe perfect in hard rain or mist at every speed I have tried so far { up to 80 mph }
    -
    I have part numbers + instructions and pics.
    -
    I will post a couple pics now , part numbers, refill numbers, prices and instructions later.
    -
    BTW refills are very cheap . about $4.50 per side

    Those who have a bent wiper arm want a straight wiper arm, & now those with a straight wiper arm want a bent wiper arm.

    Reminds me of women with straight hair wanting curly hair, & those with curly hair want straight hair.

    I'm just glad that I still have hair & working wipers!

    A look at the picture shows your passenger side wiper is too long! No wonder it rattles!
    With this sort of "unbent" arm, the correct passenger side wiper is 350mm length.
    The driver side wiper is 550mm.

    Looks fine to me. Why is it too long to you?
