Windshield Wipers(Problem)

Windshield Wipers(Problem) - 11/06/02 10:08 PM

I was just wondering if, it's my wiper arms or the windshield contour on my '00 GTP. As I'm only had the GTP for a month, now and thro I've already replaced the wiper blades(w/ the triple edge blades). I still seem to have a problem w/ the blades making good contact, mainly on the passinger's side about mid throw. Or is it just time to replace the wiper arms(blade holders)???

Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Later,
Don mad

Try something besides triple edge. There's so much material in the triple edge, they may become rigid w/ minimal use. If this is the case, they will hold shape w/ the curved portion at the bottom of the windshield, and not go flat as they ride up the glass.

Yeah, Get something other than a tripple Edge.. I put a set of em on my old Car, and They were WORSE the the $3.00 Gas station ones. I hated them.

I had the same problem and istead of replacing the wiper I replaced the rubber insert and they work perfectly.

Hey Guys thanks for the replies concerning the wiper blades. I'll give it a shot w/ a different type blades and see how that works out.

Thanks again,
