Wipers
 
What wipers do you guys prefer?? I have a bad set of wipers. They work good when just driving around town. When you get out on the highway at speeds above 70 mph the damn things lift off the window when they come up. Really sucks. I know I should slow down but even at 75 they barely touch the window. Any help would be appreciated:scare2:

I like silicone wipers (PIAA, tripledge, ect) I am running tripledge on mine. No one carries them locally you have to order them off the net.

Cheap ones, I was once a guy who bought the "good" wipers now I have learned to buy the cheap ass ones because they all fall apart in a year or so anyhow.

I had a set of rainx latitudes on my dakota(ibeam design) and they were ok in rain for the first couple weeks then got crappy. Bought a set of michelin stealth wiper blades and before I put them on I looked up reviews on them and 80% of the ones I found were bad. So I took them back and bought bosch marathon wiper blades and the reviews seemed to be way better. I've had them on my truck for 2 weeks now and they are great. We had a set of Ibeam wiper blades on our 04 grand cherokee for 4 years now(50,000 miles later) and they are just starting to not fully wipe anymore. I tried looking for the brand on the wiper itself but its no where to be found. I think they are michelin brand but cant remember. I think they were 15.00 a piece so they werent cheap ones.

I never use them cause after about 3 months they are shot. The winters here seem to tear them up quick

Am I the only person who has wipers that lift off the windshield at higher speeds? I was going to try putting lead fishing weights on them to help hold them down

Mine have never lifted at speed but I dont really use my wipers at anything above 50. Thats the good thing about silicone. It coats your windshield and the water rolls off on its own at speed. Rain x treatment works good too but using rubber wipers it wears off pretty quick. The tripledge wipers are $9 each plus shipping (http://www.thewiperstore.com/tripled...ld-wipers.html) and they have a lifetime warranty. I have put them on every vehicle I have ever owned and have not had to replace one. Only complaint I have on them is when I put them on my wifes new car. Her windshield has a good curve in it and the t-edges didn't contact the whole wipe area. Easily fixed though by putting them in the oem frames.

Mine don't lift either

I've been using Hybrid wipers. Part frame and spring, part one piece curved. For me, they wipe the most windshield of anything I have tried, and they don't seem to fatigue as much.
