Looks like rain later today here in Northern Virginia.
The windscreen wiper blades that I find in stores today all seem much to
straight and rigid to work on the driver's side of my TR's.
When in the parked position .. they end up cantilevered and sticking up off
the glass towards the outside edge of the windshield.
After a while, the contact edge of the blade takes a set and isn't uniform.
Then it does a crappy job of wiping the glass.
While digging in the parts pile, I found some old wipers that were curved,
or arched in their "rest" position.
I put one on the car and it looks like it might work better .. if the rubber
on it were good that is.
Anyone else have this problem or know a source of wiper blades that fit our
cars better?
Thanks in advance.
