Windshield Wipers Won't Lay Flat

daisi145 · 11-27-2012, 12:31 AM

I just bought Rain-X Fusion wipers for my 370Z. I have the right size (19 and 21") but when I installed them, they won't lay flat at the end. The passenger side appears to be mostly flat, but the driver's side isn't.

Solutions?

Return them. Had the same problem on my old car with those. They dont like the slight curvature of the glass. I have Bosch ICONs which work great or I would go with the OEM blades.

Thanks. I took them off and put on Bosch ones. WAY better. I'll return Rain-X.

The issue I had was that when I used the sprayer that any other wiper was too tall and the stream would hit the wiper, not the windshield.
Had to go back to OEM, no problems since

Always used the Rain-X Latitude on previous cars. Until I put the Bosch on the Z. Love them.
