smr2112 Report post Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I haven't seen anything mentioned about wipers, but wanted to get other opinions. Car wipers and how they work, is a total pet peeve of mine. Can never figure outwhy most cars have such cheap'o wipers that never work well and certainly don'ttolerate snow well. They wear out quickly, smear, don't work right after just a few months.Drives me nuts! I had always replaced my wipers (like on my 2010 FFH) with Bosch Icon which seemsto do very well and hold up maybe a year under average conditions. So now on the 2013 FFH, the "cross wipers" seem outstanding. Seems like Ford reallyput the effort into engineering these things to do the best job possible. Have only hadmy car 6 weeks, but they work great. The combination of the crossing, 28" beam wipersand rain sensing and good motor design make me think these will do great in really badweather, snow, etc. They really clear the window almost fully and cleanly every time. I did a quick check and the wiper blades themselves have the big plus of being cheap. Compared to $21 for the Bosch Icon's. And that price seems to be from Motorcraft. Don't planto switch brands if these hold up. Fordparts.com price is $12.48 each. These are the Motorcraft part numbers. They are very easy to change and there are some othermanufacturers of compatible blades. Wiper BladesWW-2801-PF (both sides)WW-2601 (LH)WW-2700 (RH) Now I am not 100% sure what the difference is between these parts, but I entered my VIN on Fordparts.com and all 3 came up Any thoughts?

acdii Report post Posted May 28, 2013 Yep agreed, the wipers do work well. The only thing that didnt were the rain sensing part, they either worked, or they didn't. It was strange, one time they worked as intermittent, then on restart, worked as variable with the amount of rain. In either case they did come on when it rained, just how they were timed was weird. They work perfectly in the Flex, faster with heavier rain, slower with light rain, intermittent if I turn the RS off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
