I've created a thread in the past before and what happens, "Dude you should try searching for your questions before creating a new one." So here I am now. I am searching for information and found this 5 year old thread. Now you're asking me that I opened up a 5 year old thread to ask a question? (I'm "damned if you do and damned if you don't")

Listen, if you can help me out, then great. If not you can simply just ignore my comment. It's that simple.

I understand where you are coming from and I know you are new. The way to do it it do a through search then post your own thread if you dont find an answer.

Liltito, I appreciate you bringing this out of the archives!!
I too am dealing with this exact issue. I just bought my second C4 a couple months ago and just discovered last week that the previous owner installed the wrong blades and they are hitting the bottom of the hood. Good info in this thread!

I am trying to help you out, but if you prefer warnings from the Mods here, just keep on posting in threads over 45 days old. Good luck.

Hello forum archive searchers, just chiming in to add that not all RainX blades will work; I just bought RainX Repel blades (the ones that supposedly continuously apply RainX to the glass) and they are too high-profile to fit under the hood, beyond the point where filing them down wouldn't do enough to help.

I cant find any wipers that will stay on the arm. The RainX wouldnt and now the brand new set wont either. I dont remember who made them but I got them from Oreillys.

You can use trico 20-2, or napa's 60-20-2 and they are oem fit, how ever they have both gone obsolete but there is still plenty around if you look
