I used my wiper for the first time today becuase it was raining really bad. I have a 1991 Fastback LE with the rear wiper. The rear one worked fine, but on everysetting, the front wipers squeaked the entire time.
Are the wipers the wrong kind or too old or what?
Thanks,
Jeff

They are wipers. They squeak. That is how things are.

UNLESS!!

You invest in my JDM "Get rid of those pesky ass wipers" kit. $200 to cut back on drag, and eliminate wiper squeak GARUNTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK!!

i have the fix for sqeeky wipers
take a bottle of vinegar and a papre towel put the vinegar on the towel and rub down the wiper blade a couple times after doing this you should see that the towel has a black mark that is good &nbsp;no more squeeks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

Also, when you get new wipers, you'll see that they come with an alchohol pad. Use that. It really does help keep them in good condition and squeak free. I haven't had any problems.

Hey, on the subject of wipers, wasn't there someone on the board that got some wipers from like Cusco or something? I know they gave some pretty good reviews.

Yeah, triple-edge makes good wipers. I think i'm going to get some of those the next time I get new ones.
