Thunderbird... The MOPAR rear wiper blade costs only $10.00 and will work much better than any aftermarket small blade ever could. Call up your dealer when you can and get the factory replacement for the rear window.

I have good luck w/ Trico blades.


I'll second that. I put a set on my KJ and was amazed that I could actually see where I was going when it rained!

I just replaced my blades with Michelin from the Walmart. 19"/ They were about $6 a piece. I applied some Rain-x and they work AWESOME. I have to hardly ever use my wipers now, and when I do it is only on low for a short time.

I actually had 3 Mopar rear wipers (bought a few before I quit working at the stealership!), but my employee discount now with a parts house helped with my decision:P it still works "good 'nuff":)

I use PIAA along with constant applications of rainX and to me there is no better combo.

RainX kicks butt, you put enough of that stuff on and you don't even have to use the wipers it just beads right off.

I love my Bosch Icon's.I had a problem with the drivers side wiper not wiping when above 45mph,I tried every wiper they make(and sell here in the US) with no luck,even brand new all the other wipers would not clean the driver's side windshield.When I tried the Icon's they worked!!!!! Had them on for a year now,time to change them but wipers ussually only last a year anyway.They are pricy but I'll only buy them from now on.


Yep, i got the Icon's on a whim about 3 months ago & will never get anything else. Never been satisfied w/any set of replacement blades until these.

Reflex Wiper Blades with WetTec. Hands down the best blade I have ever used on the KJ.

Description:
WetTecTM is a moisture-repellent chemical that is coated onto the rubber of the blade that forces moisture to bead off the windshield. As the wiper moves, the blade releases a clear coating onto the windshield, forcing moisture to bead away, ensuring greater visibility in all seasons. The frameless design resists build-up of ice and snow and reduces windlift and streaking. The revolutionary flex design provides continuous even pressure to windshields, reducing streaks and enhancing aerodynamics

I did it last year right after I bought my used '02 Sport. I'm sorry but for the price I feel they should work longer then 9 months. I installed them because right off the lot had a new winsheild installed. So it can't be imperfections in the windsheild causing premature wear. I hear what you all are saying about one year but Dang (#@%&@##$) can't anybody make a wiper that lasts more then one year??? :evil: :P :x :evil:
