Rear Windshield Wiper Question

Fulltimer · **Posted:** Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:42 am

I thought it was only me but I have noticed that a lot of KJ's don't have clean glass after using the wiper. There is always a section where it streaks. Anyone have this problem and been able to fix it? Even new blades don't help mine.

Do what I did, took mine off at 250 miles and threw it up in the top of the garage, keep the rear window waxed good and I have never had any problems. Seems like any of the rear window wipers on most all vehicles streak and I cant stand it.

Mine wipes clean every time - just go to the dealership and get the Liberty specific rear wiper blade to replace your original one and you'll never have any problems with visibility.

25k and mine still wipes good.. I hardly ever use the rear wiper though.. I hardly drive in the rain too.

I've got about 65K miles on the KJ and my factory rear wiper still works great. I drive in the rain and snow all the time. Here in Western New York it's a requirement with all the snow and slush that accumulates on the rear window. I use Rain-X as well on both windshield and rear window with positive results. I also use the washer fluid additive with Rain-X in it to supplement the glass wipes. Maybe this is why my wiper has lasted so long, as dirt, snow, ice and water come right off with one swipe.

No problems with my rear wiper.....just use a few extra squares and no streaks......

...in your drawers.

oops!

I meant to say that my rear windshield wiper works great. Original at 33k.

:lol:

said that his works great. go get his.

Mine does the streak thing. I deal with it plus I have a bread tie wrap holding mine in place. I can not find blades that fit the rear window and with a locking peice.

I tried new blades from a dealer...no go. Same problem. I just rain-x'd it, so we will see. I suppose it could be a bad arm. I really liked the idea of pitching it

I'm at 85K and the original still works good (but I live in Arizona where there is 350 days of sunshine

)
