Autobody, Lighting, & Structural TechThis forum is brought to you by RPM Electronics in Burnaby.
Discussion about modifying your auotomotive lighting, retrofits, auto body, share projects, ideas, etc.
On my 2nd set of Bosch Icons. The first set were great, the 2nd set not so much. I suspect that because it's frameless and 26", it's not getting even pressure throughout the entire length of the wiper. It streaks/makes no contact right in my line of sight which is annoying. In any case, looking for an alternative to the Bosch Icons.
BTW, if you have access to a US mailbox, Amazon has some pretty decent prices for the Bosch Icons compared to Canadian retailers. If you can wait, I occasionally see $15 off rebates for them so it's almost buy one get one free with those offers.
For my Dodge Stealth, I've tried a bunch of brands in the past and the best so far has been PIAA Super Graphite (which I guess are now discontinued). I just bought my first pair of Super Sporza Silicone wipers this weekend and can't wait for the rain to come just to use them. They look great. Was happy to toss out the crappy Reflex and Wettec Reflex wipers
EDIT:
We've had lots of rainy days this past week and a half and I had lots of chances to test the wipers. As expected, they worked well and are so silent compared to my last set of Reflexes. The rain is just beading up and flying off the windshield.
I'm currently using Anco Contour wiper blades with the Sure Wipe wiper booster on my Civic and they have worked flawlessly for the past 2+ years. No streaking, chatter or wiper lift at all.
Hmmm bought the PIAA Si-tech windshield wipers and can't seem to install them on my 2012 A4 - Asked everyone in the audi forums about whether the adapter would have changed from 2011 and they said that it didn't so I don't know what gives
Where can I get some fine steel wool to take off overspray?
I always use 0000 (4 zero grade=finest) "Bulldog" steel wool from lordco, I'm sure any body shop will sell you or give you some in trade for future business. If its not fine use a lot of Windex and mild pressure
Every three months I take alcohol or iso and remove the rainx from my windshield then I machine glaze my glass to fill any minor stone chips and help the blades glide smoother. Re rainx my windshield then install bosch icon's from lorco and see how little I use the wiperblades
They are going to suck in a few months. And when they suck, they suck hard. Get a set of nicer/better wipers. I speak from experience.
Mine work good on my E30. No shuddering, no squeaking, smooth and silent. A bit of streaking, but they are almost a year old from what I remember. Gonna pick up a new set from Costco tomorrow.

I had them on my E30 for a bit over a year and then they started to suck mega ass.

FWIW, most hardware stores & even Wal-Mart sell all grades of steel wool.
