On some cars the front wiper is vertical in off mode, right in the middle of the window.
looks like crap :eyeroll:

Some people conver front 2 wipers to one that is vertical when off (like in DTM racing). It's such a rice mod IMO!!!

Well, the wife gave me the go-ahead to get the new blades today, it was raining, something about 3 year old wipers on a car stored in the desert she didn't like.
LOL
So I got the PIAA Super Silicones. They are rated much higher than the graphites and won't dry rot.
Anyways, after some intense looking on ebay and elsewhere, I got them at this site...
http://www.performanceproducts.com/Product...&producttype=10
For a grand total of...
Shipped. That is 2 day shipping, and ALL 3 BLADES.
This place has a deal going on where you buy 2 sets and get 15% off. Best prices I could find. So it was only
$14.41 for one of them and $16.96 for the other 2.
Not bad at all.

In Ukraine you can buy wiper blades (only silicon rubbers for them). And it's only $3-4 for 1 rubber.
So your metal wiper stays the same and you change only rubber.

I could have done that, but the wiper blades suck that are on my car and I want complete replacements. PIAA are supposed to be some of the VERY best.
