LOL.

On the windshield wipers subject. I have a 2001 TJ and I'm guess I'm used
to the wipers. I just put up with them. But, I have seen mechanisms
(springs) on the web that aid in pressing the wipers more, on the window.
I don't remember where, just not interested.

At least one of the large mail-order jeep parts houses sells those
springs. The blurb claims that they were developed to help keep the wind
from lifting the wipers at speed.

On the rubber wearing off on the windshield issue, I had that happen and I
changed brands and it stopped doing it. Dunno from what to what though...

I cleaned the rubber gunk off of the glass with Glass Plus.

Perhaps the OP could try those wipers with the sheathing over the metal
parts. I have become adept at reaching out and lifting the blade off of the
glass with my hand and letting it thwap a couple of times to shock the ice
off.

Got 11 inches of snow here in NJ last night. Whoo Hooo! I even put the
snow thrower on the tractor yesterday as it began ( as opposed to last year
when I just ran up and down the long driveway repeatedly to pack it down -
this is better, lol). Being prepared feels so odd.... <grin>
