Windshield wiper ???
I searched and found a few posts on the windshield wiper "wind deflector" or "snow plow."(
) Anyways, I just changed the wipers and was wondering if this something I need to change over to the new ones or does it matter?
TIA,
Mike

I'm curious as well. Can we get just the blade itself and keep the rest of the unit?

I may be wrong but I don't think the blade alone is serviceable. Just replace with a regular replacment arm unit. You will only notice the diffrence above 140MPH in the rain.

You don't need it. You'll be fine without it.

I just replaced the rubber with OEM refills. Not difficult.

Cool. I already replaced them with regular Rain-X arms but just wanted to make sure I didn't need to switch that over.
