ok, not sure will this would go, not the repairing because its not broken, but im sure some of you think that the windshield wipers are very slow compared to some other cars out there.

me, i hate driving in the rain, and when its raining hard, i cant see anything with how slow they are. is there anything you can do/buy that will speed them up? has anyone let this bother them this much?lol

 

When they are turned up all the way they move pretty fast I thought.

 

Oh, here's a great suggestion though. Get Rain X. Believe me it will solve all your problems. You won't even need your wipers.

 

There is an adjustment **** on the windshield wiper handle. You have to turn it like you would turn the **** on a watch.

 

im talking about when they are on full blast. they are quick, but not as quick as they could be. like i had a honda for example before this car, those wipers hauled *** compared to the z.

and i used rain x once, from what i remember it built up on my wipers and made it hard to wipe the water off

 

try a product called Aquapel. Much much better than RainX. Also it lasts for like 3 months. It's what they use on airplanes. Airplanes don't have wipers for the rain.

 

Some airplanes have it, some don't, depending on the design and speed of the plane.

It rains pretty heavy in Denver too but thus far I haven't had a problem. I just drive alot slower cause:

1. Respect the road and performance of the Z
2. Driving slower will slow down the speed that the rain hits your windshield
3. Hydroplane! AVOID AT ALL COST!
4. RESPECT the road condition!

 

trust me, when it rains. im the one in the slow lane on the interstate doing 40 with my hazards on, i hate the f-ing rain

 

^^^Good

 

Interesting but I enjoy driving in the rain. I find it very relaxing. I wax the windshield and usually don’t use the wipers.

 

I've never had a problem with RainX. There's so little water on the windshield when I use it that I don't even hardly have to use the wipers.

 

well, its just these hurricane rains around here, they have been bad, and very hard to see

 

I think u just made a good point, its the rain u've been having, sometimes it falls so fast and so hard that it doesn't matter what speeed your wipers are. Downpours suuuck

 

Airplanes that do not have wipers have a coating on the glass, much like what Mercedes Benz has and Toyota has on the 4runner. It works like Rainx. Its a pitty that Nissan did not put that on their cars.

ericjackson: Actually, you might be putting yourself in danger by using your hazards during hard rain. If you check this closely, we tend to lose track of gauging distance when the lights flash on and off since the light is the only thing that is visible, and for a split second we lose sight of the object (the light). It is even worse when there are several cars with hazards on in the rain. The best thing to ensure your car is always visible, is to turn on your headlights. The steady tail light source makes it easy for the driver behind you to gauge distance and keep track of the location of your car.

Nevertheless, you are a cautious driver, like me, and that is good.
