  • Better Wipers

    Rain or snow wipers can make a trip annoying or pleasant.

    Our local dodge dealer offered these on sale, $11.95 each.
    They are solid aero bodies like the anco. They probably are
    anco, Assured seems to be the dealerships brand name for
    rebadged parts. Hopefully they work better than stock. I want to
    see better performance against rain, snow and wind. Anyone
    have review of this falls brands to offer?

      Here is the old anco aero thing I just took off. They are quite a bit different, the wing on the anco is at the trailing edge, the new assured has the wing in the middle. The end caps
      on the anco continue the wing, the assureds do not. I did not need any of the adapters
      for the festiva arms. I don't know if I can refill the new ones like I did the anco blades.

              I generally buy rain-x weather beaters (mid-grade) 20" drivers and 18" passengers. They perform well, especially for the price. Of course they only last a year. This go around, I think I'm going to try the single piece contour blades by the same brand.

                They were out of the Latitude for $ 8.90 cost so they sent me the assured for the same price so I put them on my car and reordered the Latitude. The weather beater was for
                another job coming in but they got sold at noon today so I reordered that as well. They
                are $ 4.01 cost.

                I stock Anco but these were better priced so I tried some.

                In the thumbnail pic the Latitudes look more like the Anco profile
                but its hard to tell. The profile is the aero looking ones I had on.
                The profile blades did not lift in wind, and worked very well in both
                snow and rain. With a little mod the refill cold be replaced and this has
                worked well for several years, I have had them since they were introduced
                here. These rain X latitudes ( which I have yet to see ) may be just as good
                and are less money.

                  if you take care of the blades on the lattitudes, you can get them to last over a year and a half with still good results.

                    If you put on some wiper arms from an early 90's Nisson Sentra, you get stainless steel arms and better grip on the windsheild, as they Nisson have stronger springs

                        I think 91 to 94 sentra were one block of years. Several models too, I don't
                        know if they are the same.

                          Would love additional confirmation of this as it is a mod I desperately need to do. Having repainted arms has always been on the list, but stronger repainted ones would be even better! Is it just as simple as bolt/unbolt?

                            I'm pretty sure it's the boxy looking Sentras from '91 to around '94, as was said. They should just bolt right on. Profile-wise, they are almost exact stainless steel copies of ours. I know because I pulled a pair a while back, but I can't find the picture.
