windshield wipers
i just returned from my first snow adventure in my 2004 wrangler
unlimited!!!! yee-haw!!! question: did that punk in the pimped-out, overpowered neon REALLY think he was going to get away with passing everything including the snowplow???? when we saw him off in the median later i didn't notice anyone stopping to help. anyway, my WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUCK!!!!! the first car i ever drove was a 1950 something jeep that was just one step removed from military salvage. i don't think they've improved the wipers since then!! i really enjoyed the challenge of the snow, but i would have felt a lot better if i had been able to at least glimpse where the road was supposed to be once in awhile. what can i do to upgrade the wipers. or augment them. or maybe turbo-charge them???? tia martin caskey millers island, maryland |

i find that using rain-x once a month is a real life-saver for any
condition, snow, rain, or mud. i rarely even have to use the wipers. randy wrote: > i just returned from my first snow adventure in my 2004 wrangler > unlimited!!!! > > yee-haw!!! > > question: did that punk in the pimped-out, overpowered neon REALLY > think he was going to get away with passing everything including the > snowplow???? when we saw him off in the median later i didn't notice > anyone stopping to help. > > anyway, my WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUCK!!!!! the first car i ever drove was a > 1950 something jeep that was just one step removed from military > salvage. i don't think they've improved the wipers since then!! i > really enjoyed the challenge of the snow, but i would have felt a lot > better if i had been able to at least glimpse where the road was > supposed to be once in awhile. > > what can i do to upgrade the wipers. or augment them. or maybe > turbo-charge them???? > > tia > > martin caskey > millers island, maryland > |

I'm in Winnipeg (Winterpeg as most like call it...) I bought an '04 TJ last
May. My first Jeep. I've wanted one since I was like 5! This is my first winter with it. I'm pretty impressed so far. It's been through -40C, ice rain, snow storms, and some 18"+ deep snow. So far, the stock wipers have actually held up pretty well to our extreme cold and snow conditions. What I find is that on the driver's side of the windshield it will eventually start to build up a small "ice shelf" along the vertical support. Turning the defrost on full at max heat will eventually melt the ice shelf, but that's a pain. On every other vehicle I've had, I installed teflon winter wiper blades, available at Canadian Tire. The blade mechanism is surrounded in a rubber skin that stops ice from forming in the joints of the blade. They made a huge difference from a typical wiper. Only thing is I'm not sure whether I can get a winter blade for a Jeep because the wipers are so short. I guess I'll check next time I'm in there. There's another new style of "extreme condition" wiper that's out this year called a Reflex wiper blade. Again available at Canadian Tire. I've never tried them but they seem like an interesting concept. Good Jeepin' Eh.

LOL.
On the windshield wipers subject. I have a 2001 TJ and I'm guess I'm used to the wipers. I just put up with them. But, I have seen mechanisms (springs) on the web that aid in pressing the wipers more, on the window. I don't remember where, just not interested.
