My windshield wipers suck

[1engineer]

I'd read up on the rain x washer fluid, I sure wouldn't use it

Read all you want. I have used gallons of the stuff since it came out with ZERO problems. It does not stain the paint or anything else. It simply works.

LMAO!

I will probably laugh every time I use my windshield washers for quite a while now....

Used my windsheild washers the other day and had a d*mn good laugh about this... SKEET SKEET!

Does anybody else feel the same way? My 4Rnr is 2013 and only has 17k miles. The wipers are in good shape, but I just feel like they don’t do a good job.

If the wipers aren't keeping up with the water, the wipers aren't in good shape. Replace the blades or wipers, then re-evaluate. Find and try a quality replacement (ie Trico), although they should all work well when they're new.

I've been amazed at how well the wipers quietly keep water off the windshield.

I avoid Rain-X on the windshield because it eventually ends up on the wiper blades and then they seem to get too slick to grab and move the water as well. I'm trying and liking Rain-X on the dirt-magnet back window, though.

Use Piaa wiper blades they are expensive but they last me atleast 2 years and they don't leave streaks. I drive all day long everyday just about and they are awesome they are silocone so they don't dry out.

These are nice and I've also had very good luck with Bosch Icons in the past....

Or you're in a downpour - I've been in several thunderstorms in MT where you simply have to pull over and wait a few minutes for the worst to pass over.
