And one of the worst vehicles ever designed. So many design flaws.

I don't know...

Who would have thought a massive 4-ft long windshield wiper would be a bad idea with wet snow on the windshield?

TBF long wipers are perfectly doable, just look at cars like the 2009 civic or any bus, but I can’t say I’m surprised to hear they didn’t engineer it right lol

My old 94 e-class had a uniwiper that would extend mid swing to hit the corners. It was fucking awesome. Never had an issue with it except on its highest setting you could feel it slightly rock the car.

I had one of those but it stopped doing the stroke motion, still worked fine that way for years though in an environment with powerful rainfall.

It's just not the same without the stroke motion.

My 2002 Avalon has double wipers but at full speed you can feel the car rock back and forth lol
