Thumbs up Interesting wiper add on mod

I have a set ordered from Temu, very cheap. They look interesting. They add extra blade pressure on the windshield.

I looked at those, but am worried that they might wear out the blades more quickly. Will await your future comments.

I use these because of how inexpensive they are as compared to the gallon stuff in stores. It has some sort of additive in it that acts like Rainex. Only downside is can't use them in the winter as we need in Utah, fluid that won't freeze. So I think a little extra pressure on the blade arms isn't going to significantly affect the blade life.

Yeah Mate, I use those washer additives too and they do a good job, NOW. But when I first put them in the washer tank, they reacted with the crap that was already in there and the windscreen looked like the first photo you just put up. White stuff all over the screen that was hard to remove when it dried. I guess I didn't read some details on the packet of cleaner pellets.
