I hate "all weather" windshield wipers
OK.. Last week i went to checkers to buy a new set of windshield wipers because my old ones were just smearing the water and dirt around. But anyways, i saw that they had 2 different brands: "Exact Fit" and "All Weather". The "All Weather" wipers were about $1-$2 cheaper then the Exact Fit but that wasnt the only reason why i bought them. (although it was a big factor) I liked the sound of "ALL WEATHER" wipers... hahahaha.. but anyways, i took um home and installed them. The next day, it was pooring and i was really happy cause would finally get a chance to use the wipers and be able to see clearly out the window..
The very first swipe that i did... The FRICKEN WIPERS DID THAT SKIPPING ****!. I was pissed... Cause then i knew that these wipers would only get worse. Now after a week these wipers make a screeching noise whenever the windshield is only a little wet and it skips.... Im better off just putting rainx on my windows and not even using my wipers...
I dunno, just wanted to tell you guys NEVER to buy "ALL WEATHER" wipers because its ****TY! and its true... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!.. hahahahahaha
Now im gonna go buy the "exact fit" wipers because my friend bought them and says they work great!
CLIFF NOTES (for all you lazy people): Pay the extra 4 dollars at checkers and get the "Exact Fit" wipers rather than the "ALL WEATHER" wipers....

my wipers are wierd, dunno if its the wipers or what, but after each swipe it leaves this foggy haze, really annoying, cant see jack. its the originals from the dealers, should i swap it with something else? i put something similar to rain x and it helped a bit, but visibility is still crappy. my 4runner with the cheapest wal-mart wipers are more clear.

So after reading this thread, I decide that maybe I should replace my wipers as well. Come to find out, no one has both "Exact Fit" driver/passenger wipers in stock, apparently a lot of cars must have that fitment because Checkers in town and Kalihi do not have complete sets--they just have one side. I then called Carquest by McCully Bike, and they don't even have a replacement wiper listing for the 04 Impreza yet.
Guess I'll live with the "wiper-streak" I got going on till they get complete sets back in stock...
