Rear wipers too small

[Kamuelaflyer]

But you don't need a clear window for any of that. ?

Yes, actually you do.

I need a clear window to properly see what happened in the video.

lol.... I think it will be pretty obvious, via dash-cam, even through an extremely dirty window, when someone backs into you!

If someone wants to post a "dirty widow" dash cam vs. a "wiped window" dash cam, and prove it makes any realistic difference, I'd love to see it. ?

And you would be incorrect.

A difference of opinion does necessarily mean one is incorrect. ?

How were you able to make that one fit? The one I have has this type of connector:

But the one you linked to has this:

That's the one I bought. And even without the right-angle connection, it still positively clicked into place and has a few degrees of "rock" to it. It also hasn't rained yet, so I don't have a first-hand experience to report. I'll report back when I do ....

It's a bit dreary and wet here atm. If that holds up over the next few days, I'll see if I can pull some wet and dreary and normal early June upcountry footage from my Fitcamx dashcam.

Wow, they actually fixed something, only took four years.

That’s looks like a 14” wiper, you measure the length of the blade that touches the glass only.

Thank you! I wasn't sure how wiper length was measured at all lol.

 

[honourx]

Thanks. I’ll do that. Is there a reason the Mach e gets issued with 12”. It’s pathetic.

Cost Ford X Amount of dollars for a larger one and saves them $$$ for the smaller one.

I forget I even have a rear wiper. Never use them on any car I have with one.

 

[bvelderman]

thanks for all the suggestions. Got the trico 15”. Love it.

You think the rear wiper on the Machs are small, check out the one on the Honda Prologue. I was driving around today and got behind one of these. I thought it was some weird aftermarket mod to make the wiper micro-sized. But no, that's how the vehicles come:

I always found the lines of the Volvo C30 interesting - great rear visibiity, efficient construction, full sweep of a real wiper. Smart design. Honda should feel ashamed of that wiper, but it's not entirely their fault is it? It's more of a SAIC-GM than a Honda product, right?

Many will tell you it's not the size, but rather, how it works.... ?
