Mopar Performance Windshield Wipers w/ Built-In Washer Jets Released For Jeep Gladiator

[WanderingJ]

Anyone in North Eastern / Great Lakes winter states confirm if these wipers are an improvement over stock now that the snow is here?

If someone has a pair in buffalo right now and they work, I would be blown away. Then again, they would have to find their JT first.

I'm in northern CO. Yesterday morning it was 5F and they worked fine. I have Rainx -25F fluid.

That didn't take long...

I ordered these through BAM, so we'll see if they're any help.

So did the rubbing on the plastic trim finally cut the hose?

 

[Kevin_D]

That's what it looks like.
While I did put heat-shrink on the ends to prevent fraying, I did NOT extend it below the cowl.
Guess I should have...

Looks like I should heat shrink mine lower, hopefully that’ll help enough. I haven’t put any on it so far… *knock on wood*

I did the heat shrink and opened up the hole in the cowl trim a bit with some gentle heat from a heat gun and pressure for clearance. No issues for me... yet. ?

Looks like some serious chaffing on the cowl around the wiper pivot… is the tubing routed correctly?

I Just checked mine and the drivers side is getting cut by the cowl cover also. Will have to look into a better way to run the hoses or drill a hole...do not know yet how to go about this yet .

Yeah, I’ve got a couple of ideas.
BAM sent me a replacement, but I haven’t had a chance to see just what they sent.

Just now played around with mine,some may not like the out come but for me it works ! Got out the multi step drill bit ,placed a grommet in the hole and installed new hose down the wiper blade to get a bit more length and R&R the hose coupler. I used some yellow fuel line that I had laying around on the wiper blades....

Works great and do not foresee any problems.

 

[Lunentucker]

Yeah. I don't like it. LOL

I hadn't checked mine in a while but the little bit of shrink tubing seems to be doing a decent job.

This looks like the proper way it would be ran if it was built for this. I think you nailed it.
