I got a new set of wiper blades on my car. I think they might be too long because they hang over the edges a little, but I don't care, they work great. I would have to say that they are the only blades I have ever had that I actually like to watch. It's hard to keep my eyes on the road sometimes. Call me crazy, but lately I have been driving around non-stop with them on. I've even been pulled over and the cop asked to go for a ride so he could watch them work.

They were outrageously expensive, but safety is my main concern and like I said, they work great.

Let me know if you would like a pair for your car!

Tried to send you a PM but it wouldn't allow me. Better edit the subject line to add "NSFW", just so that nobody gets a surprise.

I tried to buy a set for my truck, but the cost was more than my Rolex. Probably worth it

Looks like they would be too expensive for me.

Looking at the windshield; looks like she runs on methane.

I don't think that it's roadworthy in my opinion. Wipers like that could possibly block a driver's field of vision.

I am concerned about the windscreen washing mechanism. How often would it need to be serviced???

Where does one insert the bottle of windscreen cleaner

I see you have BlondeStar too.

Holy Schnikeys! You better get a NSFW on that one, pronto.

The windshield washer fluid smells like p!$$.

Viracocha · 7 June 2008, 12:18 PM

One for the files lol

Oscar · 7 June 2008, 01:38 PM

At least the wiper blades and mechanism look somewhat areodynamic........

Terry Newton · 7 June 2008, 03:06 PM

My Lexus would look nice sporting one of these new wiper models.

I don't think my wife would let me have one. Too much PMS in the house =

I tend to get 'PMS' when the wife enters a clothing store. Poor credit card.

It is not in the instructions, but if you install the unit backwards you will hear a whistling at high speeds.

Depends which model you get....looks like the one picture would not have the whistling sound....it's a pre-used model....just a bunch of flapping....like a flat tire!

boa2 · 11 June 2008, 02:56 AM

Do they have an intermittent version for us married guys?

CoopJr · 11 June 2008, 04:45 AM

After the washer fluid comes the air dry

Lubrifar · 11 June 2008, 11:27 AM

I like my blue windshield fluid alot ... I guess I can switch up to the yellow kind with the new wipes as long as they don't streak.

gha · 12 June 2008, 07:01 AM

It's always nice to have a number of options when purchasing your vehicle. I wonder how the "financing" is for this particular model......? ........gha

Coastal1 · 12 June 2008, 07:49 AM

I'd buy a hybrid if it had wipers like that.

OK, I would actually buy two!

xtra3cats · 12 June 2008, 07:54 AM

I volunteer to fill-up the washer fluid reservoir...no charge...

cray-fish · 27 March 2009, 10:46 AM

Gorgeous...do they stay put at high speeds?

DaleM · 27 March 2009, 01:33 PM

The version for my truck would cost me half of everything that I own!
