I dare not use my wipers - the motor is soooo noisey... people stop and look at me.... I rely on rain-X and using "the force" while navigating in rain :starwars:
i can see !!
got my new aerodynamic wipers today along with my citroen mist spray washer jets :woo: thought it wise to get them sorted before the real bad weather comes as the wipers missed in places and the washer jets were rubbibsh, passenger side only just reached the screen and drivers fired straight off the screen :lol:

I know this seems really obvious but couldnt the existing jets be adjusted so they both hit the screen in the right place unless there is another problem possibly a partial blockage on passenger side pump seems to have plenty of pressure if its firing over the top on the other side tried the citroen mists myself but on the f I had at the time the spray only reached 6 inch up the screengot my new aerodynamic wipers today along with my citroen mist spray washer jets :woo: thought it wise to get them sorted before the real bad weather comes as the wipers missed in places and the washer jets were rubbibsh, passenger side only just reached the screen and drivers fired straight off the screen :lol:
Rain-x
Do you really find Rain-x does the job? Or perhaps you're joking. I tried the stuff some while ago and wasn't too impressed. I should imagine much depends on how fast you're travelling, and how hard it raineth; possibly also the areodynamics of the particular vehicle. I can't remember which car I tried it on.
The wipers on my MGB aren't too clever - it might be an idea to try the stuff on that motor.
(Couldn't remember if it was Rainex or Rain-x. It'll probably turn out to be neither.)

Rain-X is the dogs.... but you need to apply it well, and reasonably often, but it does work if applied properly (several coats)Do you really find Rain-x does the job? Or perhaps you're joking.

yes could've done this but thought i'd give the mist 1's a go, and must say they really cover the screen :broon:
+1 for the mist jets. Brilliant mod - my old wiper jets were like having four ants weeing on my screen from 15" away.
One of the best cheap mods you can do to an F is fit the citreon jets, IMO

Weird coincidence, I just finished installing these:

They're almost an exact colour match for a platinum silver F.
