Consumer Description

WHY ARE THE WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD SO BAD, I CAN SEE BETTER IN THE RAIN WITH THE WIPERS OFF. THERE IS NO DIRT ON MY WINDSHIELD OR DEAD BUGS, I CLEANED THE WINDSHIELD IN MY GARAGE AND THEN DROVE IN THE RAIN TO PROVE A POINT. WHEN THE WIPERS ARE ON IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE BLURRING ON THE WINDSHIELD IT IS CLEARER JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE RAIN. *TR
