Does anyone have these. I currently have Bosche and they are very loud and its almost like they are too sticky if there such a think. They make an annoying sound. If anyone knows anything about this product let me know. Thanks Justin 1998 Black SVT jcboeckl@unity.ncsu.edu

The tests have always shown their superiority. ------------------ Dan Parmelee TheContourGuy@aol.com 95 SE ATX KKM 24V HIGH OUTPUT badging SVT E0 wheels/tires yellow calipers CEG stickers OF's TH fix HyperWhite high beams CoolBlue low beams drilled metal pedals faux metal grille removed hoodliner 01 Infiniti I30t 95 Ford Windstar LX http://hometown.aol.com/thecontourguy/contour.html Dan Parmelee 1999 Acura Integra SiR-G coupe "I heard Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms" "Word, bitch!

Just didn't know how these would be. Anyone actually have them. later, Justin URL is www.rainx.com Justin 1998 Black SVT jcboeckl@unity.ncsu.edu

Do you ever clean your wiper blades? Loud blades are normally dirty blades (rubber) or winshield loaded with road grime (do a real window cleaning not the normal wipe and go most people do) Do you have the Bosch Excels or just the normal bosch? (normals are no where near the excels!) 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

Also, rain-x makes pink winter and green summer windshield washer fluid and if you use it, you don't have to use your wipers much unless you drive thru a hurricane/mud bog/behind a coal burning truck ------------------ '98 Tropic Green Tour SE Sport V-6 ATX "I promise I wont modify it honey, it's a family car!"
