bigger blades means more stress on the wiper arms and motors
keep in mind these parts were designed for a certain blade length


that's right

avoid using larger blades that OEM spec

Would 2 different sizes of wipers cause any mechanical problems in the wiper mechanism?

dry with newspaper

then use some armour all glass wipes

In combination to this I suggest rain clear treatment (Buy it for 46 bucks at L&DG). Is a two part system, first is an abrasive scrub that really works well to remove deposits, then there is the rainX type coating. Water does pelt off of it and the wipers move more smothely against the surface, making them more efficient. I tried it on my lights, will let you know how they look in a week.

anyone used them yet and can provide a review?

where equippedtoripp he usually does some good reviews Question


These blades are the best i have ever used. Highly recommended. The price is a little high, but there is no price for clarity of vision breds. Excellent buy.
