Re: wipers

Check to see that they are sitting flat on the windshield - sometimes those big *** blades curl up a bit causing this. Mine did that after I changed them, too.

Re: wipers

LOL, yeah I had the same exact problem, like a few days ago.

The aftermarket wiper arms I have don't flex as good as the stockers. Our windows have some mean curve to them, pick up your aftermarket one and compare how much less it flexes and counters to the shape of the windshield compared to the stock wiper arm. You can see this buy pushing in the center of the blade..........

This being said, I bought inserts and it works 100%. I only buy inserts for my blades, and if you need a new wiper arm, I'd get a GM replacement......

Re: wipers

Trico 24-9r Wiper blades worked well for me.

(General Tech is where this thread should be)

If it doesn't have something direct to do with the engine, it doesn't belong on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech". Let's move it to "General F-Body Tech & Info".......
