How important are windshield wipers?

Wet a paper tower with rubbing alcohol and wipe the bottom of each blade thoroughly. Should help.

The biggest problem you will have is either early in the day or in the evening, when the sun is low in the sky, it shines on those streaks and can reduce your visibility significantly.

Don't worry about the wipers. It's just a scam.

Also, brakes. Forget about them. Just another way for scam artists to take your hard-earned cash.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thanks!

So, what you just told us, is... "I am an incredibly cheap, and dumb piece of human flesh. I would much rather put other peoples lives at stake, including my own, by being so stupid in my logic, as to not see the repercussions if I was to take a life due to my cheapassness."

Btw, new windshield wipers would total about $8.

Being able to see well is preferred.

Try the alcohol cleaning as noted above, if that does not work then you can either get a new set of blades and/or inserts.

Somebody also noted this, but Rain-X is a good product. If you apply it correctly you barely need the wipers.

Also seat belts are government intrusion.

I'd say don't worry about them except that our meddling government wants to control us and make you do things at their command, like drive safely.

I'm pretty sure that windshield wipers were invented by a private citizen, and had absolutely NOTHING to do government.

The government hasn't invented anything.

But once someone does, they take over and tell you what to do with it.

They don't make cigarettes but won't let you allow your 7 year old to smoke.

Control freaks!

It would be funny if it weren't true. Seat belts are required, but gun turrets and anti-aircraft missile launchers are prohibited?

I hate it when they charge you tolls based on the number of tires you got.

I get out the truck and pop all the extra ones I need to make it two tires.

If the government wasn't intruding I wouldn't need to spend $2500 on tires every month.

Here's a hint for you: I think it is only round tires that they charge on.

My windshield wipers don't work too good. they streak back and forth and don't clear the rain off nice like other cars.

The grass is always greener dude. Just be happy your wipers sort of do all they need to do. If you get nicer windshield wipers you'll be jealous of the ones that turn on automatically when it rains, and if you get those, you'll just want whatever the Joneses get next. Don't be a slave to consumerism.

Idiot. Why do you keep buying new tires if you can drive perfectly fine with two?

Anti-aircraft missile launchers are NOT prohibited as long as they are rear-mounted.

True story.

I'll try the alcohol thing but all I got is some old Milwaukee.

Nah man they're not important. I see just as good without 'em.
