Q:Or does the wind just blow off the rain when they go really fast?

Yes most large transport aircraft have variable speed windshield wipers but they are normally used in fairly heavy rain, predominantly during landing and occasionally during takeoff. There were some aircraft that used high pressure air blowing across the windshield to keep rain off but most use a wiper system. Each side is independent from the other side.They are never used in cruise conditions. At cruise speed airflow keeps the forward windshields clear. Light airplanes generally don't have them.

Q:I need to switch out the windshield wipers on a 2002 Toyota Camry and am trying to figure out what would be recommended. What is the very best? What is the most cost effective? Where can I find the best price on either of these kinds of wipers?The reason I need to change them is because it leaves big areas that do not get wiped when it rains. It‘s definitely dangerous with the weather the way it‘s been.

In addition the to above apply rain_X solution to the windshield. It really works wonders. Follow the direction on the bottle.

Q:I just bought some Rain X wipers but I have a 2006 Scion XB in the book they say it requires 20 inch blades. Unfortunately I went to 2 Walmart‘s and they both were out of 20 inch so I purchased 21 inch My friend said most cars can have blades an inch bigger. is that true?

That all depends on your windshield. If they over lap, or go over the top of your windshield then i would exchange them and go with the right size.

Q:Last week, I bought a 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I tried reading the manual, and it only told me how to activate the windshield wipers and not the fluid for washing. How do I activate my Windshield Wiping fluid?

Try pulling the stick on the right side of the steering wheel toward you--if that's the same stick for regulating your windshield wipers. Hold it in place for a second or two. The water should start to to spew. Added note: It's entirely possible that your windshield wiper fluid is empty in its receptacle. Have someone you know check it out for you. Wiper fluid is not just water, but a blend of a cleaner.

Q:I went to start my car tonight and there was some moisture on my window, so I turned on my wipers. They were working fine last night. When I turned them on today the driver‘s side one didn‘t move at all, and the passenger one went up and down twice then stopped sticking straight up. When I got home I put it down and tried again. I can hear the wiper motor going when I turn them on but they don‘t move. They feel loose if I try to move them manually. What could be wrong and is it expensive to fix?

I think you'll find that the driving gear in the motor housing is broke. It is common for this plastic gear to strip teeth. It's simple to change and won't cost much.

Q:I have a 98 Subaru Impreza Outback. My windshield wipers tend to slam down when they are on. What‘s wrong?

Either the motor or the wiper linkage and or the linkage grommets are bad.pull the cover and inspect their operation while they are running

Q:Wont windshield wipers mess up the Rain-x!?!?! Rain-X makes pretty much 98 % of the market for it.

Nopebut it will make the rubber on the blades last longer.

Q:Do they make cars with windshield wipers on car door windows?

No they don't! Try Rain-X on your windows. The water just beads up and runs off. At 65 mph I rarely use the windshield wipers, unless it is really pouring out. I've used the stuff for over 15 years now, wouldn't be without it!!!

Q:Which fuses (numbers) on the driver side panel or the fuse box under the hood are the ones to the windshield wiper?After I installed a new radio, the radio works fine, but the windshield wipers no longer work. I figure I must have blown the fuse to the wipers . though I don‘t know how.Is there anything else that would make the windshield wipers malfunction?Thank you.Paul

I Have an 03 Sport Trac XLT. Its great. Smooth ride like a car yet drives like a truck. I had a ranger before I got my Sport Trac also. It was too small and I wanted more room for passengers. Well now I have it. Loads of room in the back so people can sit comfortably. Bed is all Heavy Duty Plastic so no paint scratches to worry about or bed liners to buy. Bed size is a little small but drop the tailgate and flip out the rack and you can make it as long as a small ranger bed. Decent gas mileage for a truck and plenty of power for a 4.0 liter V6. You can't go wrong.

Q:Alright so I have a 88 chevy beretta, and on other cars when you wanna just make them wipe once you push down on the lever or whatever or when you turn them off they , it cycles through once but with my car they stay on for a about a min even after they get shut off, or when I wanna spray the washer fluid they just stay on for a few, is there any way I can change that and make it like a newer car and just make the wiper wipe once instead of having to wait for them to shut off?

I think whats happening is your telling it to spray washer fluid though not holding it long enough to spray fluid then the wipers will cycle they will make about 3 -4 passes to make sure window is clear now newer car have a mist pos. that usually only flips the wipers once then stops I don't know that's what is happening but that's my guess
