Quick Question

Anybody ever change the windshield wipers to a bigger set on your lightnings? Seems like the factory ones are way to small and dont do a good job.

I was thinkin i could maybe get them 2" bigger giving me an extra 1" of cleaning on either side of a wiper.

Man, I don't even use my wipers! Just wax your windshield everytime you wax the L and the water flys right off.

Don't see why it wouldn't work. Post up if it works. I would like to know if they chatter at highway speeds, or if they clean a larger area without rubbing the top of the cab.

Got new wipers yesterday. Stock wipers were 19 1/2" long and i replaced them with some 22" blades. Work like a charm. The cleaning surface is way better than before.

Although i am liking ZEM's04 L idea to just wax the L and drive fast.......
