Skippin Wipers

[Guest FatBAt]

No problems in the M5....

try rain X - if you cant afford it try a potato. that's works as well.

Works on your headlights as well.

Yeah that should weight them down

I have done 180km/h in the wet at eastern creek.....Remember these are meant to be "sports cars" and thus can be driven in more than peak hour traffic.  I think that saying slow down or that it ok for wipers not to work at 140km/h is acceptable....ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE

Guess you'll be trading it in for an M5 then - it seems that they are OK

I will be, V10... mmmmmm

Sounds like the p-platers aren’t the only ones who would benefit from a curfew and additional driver education…..

After a recent trip to Melbourne I was driving at speed (over 140) in the wet and the wipers were skipping badly. On every car I have owned (post 1980) they have had a small wing on the wiper arms, but for some stupid reason the XR does not have this feature. I really do not want to go to the parts store and buy an ugly 3 slatted clipon arm, like I had on my 1971 charger, I think Ford should offer a retro fit recall as this is dangerous due to the wipers inability to wipe the windows.

What is ford thinking ?

I see them on EVERY car including the several Daewoo LAnos fleet cars I own.

If it realy bugs you, you could buy some wiper blade assy's for a EF,EL Falcon - maybe even AU. (they used to have the aerofoil on the wiper arm.)

Mark.
