[Vtur]

Imo. It's a terrible afterthought designed just for Jeep to makes some extra bucks.

God here we go… ok, the dealer I bought my MOPAR performance wiper kit will only warranty me a new kit if I bring back all parts from the original kit. Anyone have the parts sitting in front of them to give me an accounting of everything?

Here are the directions, I hope that helps.

Well after a nice long trip up the coast of the Olympic peninsula the torrential rains of the PNW finally caused that wiper arm to saw through my tubing. Looks like I’ll be doing the proper hose routing now. How did you guys warranty yours out, since getting a new one is the only way to get wiper refills now anyways…

I bought mine through BAM, and an e-mail to them was all it took.
And if the dealer wants all the parts back, there go your "Extra," replacement blades.

I have a nearly-complete kit in the garage (it's missing the hoses) that I can inventory if you need.

i figure blades are a use item, and probably won’t count… hopefully. I’m on my first set, and they are pretty worn out. So I figure I’ll keep my replacements, and say I went through them already. They have the worn blades that are on there, they were going to be switched out soon anyways… damn PNW and all this rain.

Damn PNW and all this rain.

That should read, “Damn Wetside and all this rain.” I live in the inland PNW, and the rain is reasonable over here.

Mine gave up today even with my widened cowl hole they cut through the heat shrink and/or cracked. I laughed when I saw they also come on the Rubicon 20th Anniversary Level II AEV Package. I'm going back to stock jets now and will go back to the regular arms after the blades wear out.

I guess all good things must come to an end...

Same here. I had also widened the holes and it failed in the exact same spot. The broken tube slid out from under the mesh and heat shrink just as yours appears to have done. I'm trying again with different heatshrink that has high flow adhesive inside. But I can see myself switching back to the regular jets if this fails too.

I emailed the dealer I bought the kit from through eBay to see if they could help. They looked at the pictures and are sending a new kit for free. I think I'll still go back to the standard jets but at least I have replacement blades ready to go. Thanks Golling Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram for great service.

I did the modification of one of the above members drilling a pass through hole for the tube through a grommet, no issues so far, not it has plenty of slack and isn’t rubbing back and forth.

Glad I heald off on these. The customized blades were my first concern since a few swipes across a frosty window will ruin most blades.

Speaking of blades a friend said he found AC Delco blades are significantly better than the typical Bosch, Trico, Anco etc that seem like the only choices at autoparts stores. I tried a set a few years ago and by now run them on all my vehicles. Cheaper, last longer. Wipe better. A rare win.

Haven’t needed to replace yet, but I don’t think they’re custom. $8 generic wiper refills look like they’d do the job.

I did the modification with the hole and grommet and haven‘t has any issues since. Wish they suggested this for install, but I don‘t regret buying them.

So can you replace the blade or do you have to buy a whole new set?
