    They cause premature failure of the motor and system by the extra drag. Who knew......

    The grade of washer fluid makes. Huge difference ! The cheap blue stuff , I will buy a bottle of rubbing aclohol . Like rain-x brand best. And I use the Michelin brand wipers. Pricey but work great. Don't forget when hand cleaning windshield take the wet paper towel and wipe the wiper blades edge .

    I've never found Wipers that will clean a buggy windshield real good, there's no Substitute for Scrubbing the Windshield good.

    I used to buy the Cheap ones at Walmart all the time never had a real problem until I got this stupid truck.
    Got some Bosch Brand don't remeber the model or whatever, the wiper arm is metal not plastic.
    They're like$10.Haven't had a problem with them.

    I have a problem with the heat under the hood. It seems to change the washer fluid to mostly water. Orange stuff bites too, leaves stains.

    Whats a kick butt glass cleaner?

    I like Stoner for a glass cleaner followed by rain x wax.

    Wow! You need to try that. So what do you do with the sticky mess on the side of the truck after it blows off?? Do they add some to the washer resevoir or how do they do it?

    wow

    you wipe it clean, if you leave it on there, it will leave a sticky residue

    just like soap, you use the soap to wipe, you dont leave the soap on there

    its ok, take baby steps
