I know this may sound crazy but here goes. Back in the old days someone made an apparatus that fit on a windshield wiper that would pin the wiper to the windshield. It clipped on to the wiper arm and looked like ½ a pipe. In other words it caught air and forced the blade to the windshield. Obviously the reason I am needed one is at 70 mph my blade “floatâ€￾ and do not wipe the water from the windshield. Under 50 mph they work just fine. I have checked JC Whitney as well as Googled and could find nothing. Asked a bunch of auto parts stores and they have no clue. Rain-X helps but not in a driving rain. Is there a place I can get them or does anyone here have another suggestion? :dontknow:
 
i use the PIAA ones:rock:

Thanks for all the good advice. Found them and will install this week. As to the slowing down comment, seems you ain’t never been in Texas. :( On the freeways if you are doing the speed limit you get your but rear-ended. :( TXDOT has a survey running called the 85 percent rule. If 85% of the travelers are exceeding the speed limit at any given time then the state raised the posted limit by 5 mph. :rock: We actually have most major roads raised to 75 and some are at 85 mph. :rock: Soooooo, slowing down will not happen unless one wants to drive the family van and make the 10 a garage queen. But thanks anyway cause if I total my 10 then I know where to get a low mileage replacement. :D
 
which ones are they???
 
Just installed the Bosch wipers. just what the dr. ordered. :D thanks for the imput.
 
wax the front window and you won't need wipers!! water just beads off! I use Fukken wax.
 
Ok, you want me to stop the rain when I am in the middle of the freeway and it comes a down pour. :confused: Apparently you have more ability than I. :dontknow: Bumper to bumper at 60 -70 MPH and every lane full of folks wanting to go on spring break and I should just stop driving in the rain. Driving to work (264 miles) and it starts raining, pull over and wait for the storm to pass (in this case 2 hours). I bought my 10 to drive, not pamper and if it starts to rain I just can’t put it in the garage and wait for calmer weather. But----I can buy some great wiper blades and keep trucking. :rock: If I total my truck while in the rain then I know where I can buy another----a lot of garage queens around. PM me when yours is for sale. :D

Calm down calm down LOL. I was kidding. Mine is far from a garage queen. Feel free to view my threads :rock:
And I will be oooooooooooooold before I sell it. If I wreck it, I will have an excuse to start my vintage swap.
