Windshield Wiper Replacement Recommendations

[BigRig]

2019 Newmar Ventana 4037. Before I go to the auto parts store and they laugh at me, thought I would ask where to purchase those giant wiper replacements.

I also went with these Trico 67-321 32" wiper blades. I had an issue with the original 36" wiper blades hitting each other. Also, the shorter blades, while providing sufficient coverage, also reduced friction and thus the wiper motor wasn't struggling as much.

Some wiper blades attach via a J hook while others have the saddle mount. Make sure you get the right ones for your vehicle.

Thanks for the tip on "J" Hook vs. Saddle Mount. Going to take a look now.

FYI my J hook came with saddle mount and one other adapter, I needed neither which is my preference. They have all other sizes and mounts.

Mine are the saddle mount and 36". Is it a common practice to switch to the 32" replacement?

 

[flyboy013]

I'm not sure how common it is, but I've read of many doing so. There are several reasons to make the switch:

1) Cost of wiper blades
2) Reduce likelihood of blades hitting each other
3) Reduce overall friction to improve wiper motor performance
4) Others?

Better performance with the washer spray.

I just ordered a pair from windshieldwipers.com.
We’ll see how it goes.

I switched from the 36” to 32” a couple of years ago. Really can’t tell the difference in coverage. While you’re at it, check the mounting nuts for tightness. They tend to loosen up over time. I believe they should be @ about 65’lbs.
