| Lolz. Could you check for me please? I'm tired of driving in rain. This just makes my hate towards rain even worse. _________________  my baby <3: 1998 dark emerald pearl accord <3past baby: 1990 taffeta white integra |

| you guys are probably against this, but i suggest using the reflex windshield wipers from canadian tire. they go from $20-$25 per blade. I used these on my old 1987 mazda 323 (with a brand new windshield, which is comparable since there's nothing wrong with yours) and it was amazing. there's a reason all of the new cars (even Hondas, since i work there) use this wiper design. the oem blades on my 323 just didn't have enough pressure against the windshield. the arc shape of the reflex blades made my car feel new again in the rain  new reflex blades + rain away + new windshield = pure clarity also, check to see if the bolt holding down your wipers (at the very bottom of the windshield) is tight enough, that may be a quick solution that will cost you $0. |

| reflex? I heard horrible stories about them. Something about the wind being strong and they uplift. _________________  my baby <3: 1998 dark emerald pearl accord <3past baby: 1990 taffeta white integra |

| i'm not sure where all of these negative stories come from. i never had any problems at all with my reflex. and i parked outside during the windstorms... so yeah. in fact, i plan on buying these soon to replace my shitty oem ones on my EK. |

| haha... well if they don't uplift in a shitty '87 mazda during windstorms i'm pretty sure they'll be fine on your car. i also drove that car well above 120km/hr with zero lifting. |

| Here are some oh-so common facts in my 10+ years of maintenance. It doesn't matter if your'e using Honda OEM blades or $3 Wallmart special (they do the same fucking job, albeit wear out faster) RainX, doesn't hurt your wipers, it should only help by reducing friction DO NOT use your wipers for small drops if possible, as this is called "DRY WIPING" and could fuck your blade very fast Small particle on your glass could potentially damage the wipers, as they pass over it. To avoid, clean off rainx,soap to the best of your ability, and claybar the glass too. If this doesn't remove it, your glass has imperfections, nothing really you can do short of replacing the glass. After that, wash, wax, reguarly, you won't have a problem...just try to stay away from shit that oils it up, or that won't help in the rain. oh, and if they're skipping at high speed, all wipers do that. If the skip even at low speeds, then your motor could also be fucked too... but that's rare. _________________ -=|DC5-S # 1621|=- | 2004 Arctic Blue Pearl RSX Type-S | BluefiBluefi's back, but still has some healing to do... in time girl... |
