Hey guys, I just had a quick question. is there any way to make my windshield wipers glide easier on my windshield? I know Rainx helps a little but is there any other products that I could get over the counter at a local place? My wipers are old and worn and they need as much help as they can get haha.

Thanks,
David

its not the wiper, I know what it is I just need a week of free time and no rain to fix the problem but that doesn't want to happen haha. Its the bushing on the wiper assembly, they're old and shot. I can fix it but times a factor. So for now, I'm seeing if theres anything I can do.

Sounds like you need to polish your windshield.

It doesn't help that the blades are old and worn. You are going to have to replace them at some point, why not now!

Have you actually cleaned the wiper blades? Take a towel with your choice of cleaner and squeeze the blades and run the towel along the blade. If they're really dirty (which is most of the time) then the gunk and dirt will act as abrasives when running along your glass so that it doesn't glide like you'd want.

It's going to take you a week to repair
a wiper-arm assembly!

No but with college and constant rain I want two days to be safe. It really should only take an hour to an hour and a half. I may give it a shot this weekend.
