Hello my fellow camaro5 members,

Ive had my camaro for about 2 1/2 years. well it looks like the wiper blades are wearing out. i was wondering what is the best set of new wipers for my camaro?

Thanks,
Oscar

I don't think I've ever used the wipers.......

On a DD they should be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on climate. Not sure about weekend toy. If it sits outside UV can help to break them down.

I was about to say... i dont think we hardly use our wipers lol. But yes the heat can get to them. Replace them, then cover it with a car cover or park under a car port if possible. May help lengthen the life of the wipers.

Especially if you got 2.5 years out of the first set!

Mine have 12k miles and are starting to streak and miss spots. The first time they were ever used was in april so they lasted about 7 months. Been on the car for 11 from factory.

Wipe them off with a wet rag and I think you'll find they are much better....filth slime muck builds up on them.
