Gavin Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Is it possible to upgrade the wipersystem with a newer type? What I found is that the existing wipers are not firm enough when it comes to serious rain. Also there's no interval; there's only slow or fast wiping. Anyone?

wallaby Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 There is a spring under the wiper arm, visible from the inside of the car, that holds the wiper against the window. My arms have an adjustment on that spring. Maybe you can find some like this at the auto parts place. The adjustment helps keep the wipers on the glass in driving rains at near 120 MPH. (I tested them at the carwash). The parts house should also have a retrofit wiper delay kit, but the one I had required the wipers to "park" before it would wipe again. The Monte wipers (at least mine) park so dang slowly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Man that must be one awesome car wash; does it have the staging lights? It has to be at least a quarter mile to make 120 MPH I know I would have one of the cleanest cars in town, washed at least three times a day. Is this car wash seasonal or open year round? You know I could not resist that one. Quote: <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by wallaby: The adjustment helps keep the wipers on the glass in driving rains at near 120 MPH.
