Rear Wiper for M3 Sport

[alau]

Does anyone have any recommendations/tips to make the rear wiper does a better job? I am having trouble to get my rear window clean even keep spraying it with the windshield fluid. Thanks

I wonder if the springs that majic mentioned in this post would fit/work.

if not, then maybe changing the wiper to a reflex wiper would help.. I think the problem is that the wiper is not putting enough pressure on the window..

btw, what kind of problems are you having considering there isn\'t any snow?? is there streaks on your window when the windshield is wet?? just curious so I can keep an eye on my rear windshield..

I have streak marks during rainfall no matter how I try to clean it. It gets worse when it snow and dirt/salt start building up on the windshield. My car is 2 weeks old and shouldn\'t do that!

hmmmm....weird.
can\'t say i\'ve had any problems with my rear wiper, but if i did i\'d be callin up my dealer.

i have noticed a louder than usual noise from my front wipers though....not that it has anything to do with your question, just thought i\'d mention. :p

I went to the dealer this morning. They said is normal for all new M3. They clean up the windshield and use silicon to clean the blade and send me home.

no they don\'t..

and it\'s hard to find a 13\" or 14\" wiper.. it\'s the arm that\'s not applying even/enough pressure :sarc

What can I do?

clean your window with invisible glass or any other product.. clean the blade and replace as necessary.. use rainX washer fluid.. seems to work for me.. sometimes i still get streaks :sarc

I\'d make a reflex wiper mod but mazda has their own proprietary clip on the arm.
Maybe i\'ll hit it this weekend, and try to figure out the damn drool problem also

You could always put on a P5 wiper arm.

Flip,
Is it better than the Mazda3 OEM one? How much?

Well I still have to make sure that it fits.

the wipe is better when the window is heated.
turn the defrost on and wait a few min to get a good wipe.

Well I\'m starting to get annoyed with the streaks in the rear. Lets see if the P5 one will work.
