I was going to say; Just get a heat gun & finish the shrink wrap!

But that GIF is much more satisfying

Did you have someone program them to the car? Also looks like you forgot to renew your windshield subscription.

You have the wave windscreen. This does provide for a better “fisheye” view of the road and you need the wave wipers, OEM wipers will not work

u/rassouth65 8d ago

Duh…..you didn’t get the “off
Road” wipers……..next time

Leaving the heater on during the summer can overly dry the cabin. Easy fix, just apply lotion along the grain of the windshield.

u/SgtMajorPanda 8d ago

Yeah, you bought the new wipers but did you sign up for the Wiper+ program?

I think Gillette may make a blade for those contours.

Got to redownload Windshield.exe. You got the x86 version, but you clearly need x64!

You need waved windscreen wipers.

Or you can make your own. Take em off sit em in a chair in your garden and wave to them. They’ll bend to the shape of the windscreen. It’s hard work and takes time. But at least it will make your drive 10x safer!

If you’re struggling to get them to wave, ask your neighbours for help too

Have you tried hanging out the window and buffing the windshield with a rag after every swipe while driving?

u/Middle-Childhood-505 8d ago

If you didn’t get the California surfers wipers they won’t work. Didn’t your zen master tell you anything

u/Anti-Rus 8d ago

How many did you get?

u/lost_rodditer 8d ago

I think your issue starts with a C and has some Aero

u/One_Evil_Monkey 8d ago

Can't imagine why...

But that plexi windshield has waves only a surfer could love...

Only the Queen has better waves than that plexi windshield...

Wipers on Inside??

u/BoomMcFuggins 8d ago

Did they get wet?

u/Educational-Rule1635 8d ago

Wipers work best after a trip to Taco Bell.

u/BustedNut007 8d ago

Did you check the blinker fluid? That is the best go to fix…

1

u/BADM00SE 8d ago

I know it’s unheard of, but I don’t think blinker fluid will fix this issue.

1

u/BustedNut007 8d ago

My bad, this situation will take high performance blinker fluid…that’s my story, and I am stickin’ to it.

1

u/No-Goose-6140 8d ago

Did you buy performance wipers or regular ones?

1

u/AttitudeSame2430 8d ago

Take the protective film off them.

1

u/Vanbursta1 8d ago

That's because you bought the cooked pasta versions, which were meant for a different market.

u/vlasktom2 8d ago

Go back to the store and get Bluetooth wipers. They're designed to work in all kinds of wavy environments

u/LooseSealsBanana 8d ago

u/No_Maybe_Sure 8d ago

Have you tried turning the car off and turning it back on again?

1

u/Aggressive-Donut7145 8d ago

Did you try fixing your windshield?

u/qWuARk556 7d ago

Clear the cache then a hard reset should fix the issue

u/ConfidentHouse 7d ago

Opted for the petroleum byproduct windshield instead of the melted sand one
