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????

Re: windshield wipers
I don't know - I've owned several jeeps all the way back to a CJ7 (I also
have a new Unlimited) and the wipers have always been a problem. I noticed
that since 1997 (TJ) to now the wipers seem to rub off rubber on the
windshield. It's a real PITA. Haven't figured out how to fix that so far.
