Livestrong16 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 The stock wiper that came on my 16 edge is such crap! It's so streaky!! I took it apart and have no clue where I can find a replacement. All the sites online have no info for this year. Id prefer rain X just no sure I can. This is sort of a snap in place mechanism. Anyone have any info where I can get better blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Rear windows are hard to keep clean. Before replacing the blade (and running into the same problem with a different blade), try cleaning this one first. Run a wet rag over the rubber and clean the crap that builds up on them. You'll be surprised as to how much gunk will be on your rag afterwards. I use Rain x on the rear window to slow the dirt buildup. Driving around the Midwest for the last few weeks, through snow melted from salt and slush, has worn off all my Rain X and mine streaks as well. Keeping the rubber clean is the key to keep it from streaking. (mostly). Edited February 23, 2016 by enigma-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livestrong16 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah I took it off and the middle was doing a sort of "S" shape. I brought it inside and let it warm up for a few hours and it went back to shape. It's much better now. I'll buy the rain X spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 You know, I don't see why a 14" blade designed for the 14-15 MKX wouldn't work on your 16. Does the 16 look physically different? My 09 is just a simple flat, 14" snap-on blade. I looked for a Rain-X for your 2016 and read that the Rain-X blade has Rain-X in the blade. Believe I'll try this on my next change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livestrong16 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's a simply snap.. I will take a picture tomorrow and upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'll buy the rain X spray. Never really liked the spray. Went back to Rain-X in the bottle (liquid). More work to put on, but worth the extra effort imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Should be a normal wiper - just measure it and try an over the counter replacement. Or have the auto parts store look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
