Default wipers !!arrrrgh !!

so, every freaking vehicle I've ever had .....if there ever is a wiper issue.....oh lets just say it wont wipe clean and leaves a blob ....it's always the driver side wiper that fails.........so I was wondering if anyone from a right-hand-drive nation would chime in to tell me if the right hand wipers always fail there ?? LOL

RHD or LHD wipers always fail mainly due to summer heat and/or winter frost and ice. The best are the newer type of blade Aerotwin

problem is it is almost impossible to find them to for the 2003/2004 D2's but there are some available for the clip type as opposed to the hook type fixings.

Do you ever clean the blade on it? Would make world of a difference and they'd last longer if you cleaned them after every rain. Just gotta take a paper towel to it.

I use a paper towel with distilled white vinegar on it to clean off my wiper blades.
It's amazing how dirty those little buggers get.
