Anyone any ideas about mods/increasing the effectiveness of the wipers? Are there wider blades, more effective ones around?

They were on max attack last night in the torrential rain that covered Devon and they were struggling to shift all the water on the screen.

Just having a clean screen and a new blade is best. Other option is to get G techniq or similar on the glass. Don't even need the wiper on then. smile

I’ve used Gtechnic and 30mph plus you don’t need wipers although I’ve been lazy recently and just use rainX screen wash and over 40mph in torrential rain I don’t use my wipers.

Never really had an issue , would like variable speed intermittent but beyond that it’s been ok , screen clean and not being scared to use the screen wash ( it’s fkin awkward to refill ) is the answer or drive faster so the airflow clears the screen Lol

RainX is standard on all my screens. Think it might be new blade time.

Driving faster wasn’t an option friday night Stuart! Down to 50 or less on the A30 and she was aqua planning and snapping sideways every 5 mins. Wasn’t a fun drive that one (front Zeros are on 30k and being replaced next week), but I have to say the 4S4S4SSS thingies on the rear were stickier than sticky things!
