Consumer Description

WHENEVER WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE IN USE, THEY CAN BE USED ONLY IN HIGH POSITION. AFTER VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP, WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY IN THE RAIN. THE MORE MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE, THE WORSE THE WIPERS WORK OR STOP COMPLETELY. WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE & HEATER DRYS OUT WIPERS,THEY WORK FINE ON HIGH, BUT NOT ON LOW. *AK
