That you can't lift it up? I was trying to lift it up so when it snowed it wouldn't get on the wipers, but it doesn't bend up like the front wipers.. kinda sucks.

When you go 100mph it sucks even more when it whips back and falls off!

I made that observation months ago. I thought it was funny as the japanese where the first to offer wipers that lifted off the window.. One other comment.. It barely wipes 1/2 the inndow. It should have been mounted on the top of the window, not the side..

I've never had that problem in the 300 and the rear wiper lifts up 90*.

Could be the aerodynamics of the 350 cause more of lift to the rear wiper as opposed to the 300, but that is just a guess.

ummm thats bull crap, it doesn whip back, Ive done 135 personally without any problems at all, and others have done even faster without commenting on this problem.

as for positioning, on top it would have to lay sideways, which could be an aerodynamic problem.

and the lifting up, yeah, its a bit of an annoyance for cleaning too, but it lifts enough. it was a comment made by the tint shop tho, they had to deal with it.

Did they tint the outside of your windows? My shop tinted the inside.

yeah, but they layed the tint on the outside to get the right size, then applied it to the inside. from the outside it was easier to trim it right.
