Those dang wiper blades are expensive!

My 32" wiper blades are shot! After a lot of research I could only find two heavy-duty replacements that fit our MH, the Trico 67-321 and AutoTex 78-32. The AutoTex was a couple of dollars cheaper. I had bought the Trico last time and thought I would try the AutoTex this time.

Neither of them is cheap! I paid $29.99 EACH for them from Amazon!

Class A DP's are not for the faint of heart. As I say to my DW, Break out another thousand.

I bought my 32s at Walmart, think they were around $16 a blade. Works for me.

I checked the WalMart website and they didn't have any longer than 28".

I wish there was a way to increase the wiper blade pressure on the windshield. Anything over 50mph and mine don't wipe off much water. Passenger side works better than driver side....of course.

Gary,
The front of an RV doesn't have quite the aerodynamics going thru the air the same as an F4!!! I'm thinking the air flow over the window messes with the wipers. Mine do the same thing every now and then. I've found that by using RainX on my windshields that I hardly ever use the wipers because the water just beads up nicely and flows right off. Doesn't work as well for a fine mist like when your behind another big rig, but works well for straight up rain.

RainX is the best plan for any MH ... it really reduces the amount of wiper use significantly. Worth the time and effort to apply it periodically, IMO.

But the blades are still difficult to find and expensive, with or without RainX applied

These will fit J-hook, and after removal of the J-hook plastic thing I used the small bolt that attaches mine.

Stepside, if you ordered 28" blades @ 28.95 each big mistake If 28" is your need use Costco or Walmart for half that much.
