Is there anything better than these CR@P oem wiper blades?

[RKohn]

Don't have the package anymore. Different sizes were color coded. Think they were the white package. The spring display was near the wipers.

They clip on right by the hinge. Kind of tough to get on, but they even keep my anco winter blades on the glass.

NAPA Auto Parts has really good ones. I have used them before and they really work well.

I found the wiper helper springs at a truck stop. Made some improvement, but I still swear there must be a low spot in my windshield... right in front of my eyes...

Have the original wiper blades on the "99" and they still work perfectly. Best wiper system I have experienced to date.

My OEM's were great! I used to sell Anco at my station. I had a tiny spring scale to chech for correct arm pressure. Pull the blade off, put the scale under the end of the arm and read in ounces. Should have 1 ounce/inch of blade. I sold a lot of helper springs to get them to the right pressure and worked very good. You don't want to use the springs unless it's needed - too much smashes the edge down when they are shut off. Anco used to have 'anti wind lift blades' with a air scoop to push them down at high speed. They helped a lot on some cars! I'm going to try to find them again or make my own. Craig

Dude! Use Rain-X and you won't need wipers. If you keep a nice coat on there, wipers are useless! I hardly ever use my wipers even in the worse of down pours.

I used the Rain-X on all the glass, the mirrors and headlights too. Helps a lot. Actually works better the harder it rains.

You ever notice how the passenger side blade always wipes perfect but the drivers doesn't. Anyway I've used those little plastic wind dams that attach to your wiper before and they worked great. The higher the speed the more pressure they produce (and is required) as apposed to the springs that apply constant pressure regardless of speed. I have not used them on the Ram however so not sure about the aerodynamics on the truck. They come in various colors but still don't like the looks all that much. Of course if you like functionallity try them. A pair runs about $5.

Forgot to say when I bought the Bosch's, I bought the whole frame. The Bosch frames comes with the double spring tension system. Stays on the windshield much better than the OEM.

i'll go ditto on the anco winter blades lifting off the windsheild , can't go above 65 if its raining , i was running late going to work the other morning , was drizzling out , at 85 the wipers were not even touching the windsheild #ad
, started to rain harder, had to slow down to 60 . i think those little plastic dams would help keep it on the window ,should get some rainX for now . good thing spring is a comin' and i can go back to the stock frames .
