Hi guys,
I drove my camaro in the rain yesterday and the wiper heads weren't wiping the whole screen and lifted a lot. They are a new pair of classic industries wiper arms and heads. Can anyone recommend an alternative that works. It's heading into winter down here and I drive. The car all year round and I want to fix them up so as they work properly.
Thanks

I've found that all wipers last only about 6 months. I have bought expensive ones and cheap ones. To me one lasts no longer than the other. Where you might see a difference is how they hug the windshield.

Here's my EXPERIENCE, not opinion. I just changed my 3+ yr old wipers. How did they last? Here's the secret...
Buy mid-grade frameless wipers. Big lots often has nice RainX ones for a fraction of the Oreilley/Advance auto prices.
Step 2 is the key to it: use RainX wiper fluid (orange). I SWEAR by it. I went years hating the rain because of sucky wipers even though they were new. I started using the orange RainX fluid (spraying my windshield every few days to clean it) and im a firm believer that this is a miracle product. Needs a science award!
When I drive in the rain, I always wonder if people notice I dont use my wipers. If you're driving over 30, you normally dont even need blades
You'll thank me if you take my advice

I agree,, I've used this for a few years. I use to use the original RainX but it was a pain to put on by the instructions. This is much easier!

Rain x stuff works, but where I live, you still have to replace your wipers frequently. :)

Thanks guys. I might try the rain x. I change the blades regularly I'm just disappointed in the chrome head not keeping pressure onto the blade.
