Hey guys,
As the title says!
I drive my M3 allot, its quick its fun and it sees all conditions through being my daily commuter car.
It sees those conditions often at speeds higher than it should.
I need wipers that make a FULL contact pass of the ENTIRE coverage area that they are designed to cover, at higher driving speeds.
I have tried almost everything available in my area from $15 wipers to $50 wipers. I also use rain-X (which is another frustration in itself as to how long it lasts), I use the best washer fluid I can get not just the end cap crap at the gas station. I have tried hybrid wipers, beam style, silicone, rubber etc. I have also bought new wiper arms and tightened up the spring (added a spring) in my wiper arms to apply more downward force to the blades. This helped greatly, but still not quite there.
Honestly I try to apply rain-x every weekend so that I don't have to ever turn my wipers on, but as mentioned its ridiculous that this needs applied weekly, who has the time for that mess... Also I get caught up in traffic a good bit and then you need to use wipers regardless of having rain-X applied.
Most average wipers that are decent (Rain-X, Michellin) get most of the window, but still skip spots above 80MPH. especially on turns.
I have watched road course racing in the rain, and I would love to know what they use! Or maybe they have the same issue...
Any thoughts here?
