Guest Butterglow Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 The factory blades seem to freeze quite easily despite having the heat blowing on the windshield. Any suggestions for a good wiper blade replacement? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Just about any wiper blade would work well I imagine; PIAA makes some slick ones that I know of, never tried them but I bet they work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I use the Trico Teflon blades in summer and the Trico winter blades in winter....they work very well for me. If your wipers freeze to your windshield, I suggest you pull them up when you park in winter. I do this, and never have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butterglow Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 They have frozen twice while driving but pulling them up is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 well i just use some boshe blades, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. i really dont have to worry about blades freezing cause its hot as hell in texas, although in the winter it does get cold enough to freeze the dew that forms on the windshield. its cold enough for me, some times i feel sorry for you guys up north but then i rember you get snow, something we very very rarely get in houston.

herm Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Get a set of winter blades. They use a rubber boot over the wiper linkage to keep them from freezing. The idea of putting them 'up' when it snows will only prevent the blades from sticking to the windshield, but a few minutes of defrost should free them up. I only put the wipers up on nights when an ice storm is predicted, but not for snow. And yes, it's allready snowing in Maine. m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffri Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 You could move to southern california where it doesn't freeze or rain so you don't really need the blades. In seriousness, mine where out faster here than back east because it is so dry and hot, they just crack and don't sweep away dew. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanuatoo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm going to replace my front blades. I've ordered OEM parts and it seems that one blade is longer than the other. I guess the longer one should be installed on the driver's side. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududuckling Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yes... 22" on the driver, 21" on the passenger, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
