I HAVE A NEW S CONV. WITH 2500 MILES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPERS. AL THE OLD ONES DID IS MOVE THE DIRT AROUND. I REPLACED THEM WITH TRICO INNOVISIONS . NEXT PROBLEM IS THE WASHERS DON'T PUT THE FLUID WHERE IT SHOULD GO. WHAT'S YOU OPINION?

the factory fit wiper blades are known to be very poor quality - my passenger one needs replacing with less than 3500 miles done - it doesnt look damaged or anything, its just not shifting the dirt. if the washers arent directed to where you want them then adjust the nozzle direction with a pin

I just had my washers re-aimed as part of a scheduled inspection. Great improvement. I fear there is no hope for the factory wipers.

Hmmm.. had my factory wipers for 2 years with no problems at all. Infact, they're the best (FF) wipers I've had on any car
