You definitely can. I'm pretty sure theirs a DIY somewhere around here. However, the one I purchased looks great, they have multiple colors to choose from, and the wires have a very high temp skin around the wires and all the contact points are gold plated so they are corrosion free . I'm pretty sure copper would have been even better since theirs less resistance but regardless I'm happy

Its must likely going to be not as loud. I'm getting it done Monday. The Tsudo is 3"isn't it? I'm going for maybe 2.25, just to keep the sound down and performance loss to a min

Decided I needed to treat myself this week....
Grimmspeed master cylinder brace (thanks Kartracer3 for putting it on the radar): First time i've seen a rear aftermarket wiper blade 'identical' to the OEM one, I figured for $11 it can't be any worse than the OEM effort, we'll see... And my favourite, it's really a gift for my son, he's almost ready for it. For a whopping $18.74....... |

Fairly easy. Manoeuvering the piece in takes a little patience (it's one time I don't regret having a TMIC ) but it's not bad. I also chased out the mounting hole threads with an M6 tap, they were full of crap. Took all of 30mins.
Grimmspeeds online instructions/video are very useful, read/watch them first. Definite improvement in pedal feel, the harder you push the pedal the more you realise how much flex there was in the first place. |

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. It's crap.Maybe I just got a dud, hopefully you get better results. |

Try claying your window every few months along with a glass cleaner and your blades should last a year easily. I've had my current blades on for 2 years and they are still as good as new. I had my OEM blades for 3 years. |

For me the fronts have never been a problem, the rear is something else, it's almost as though the arm is not applying enough pressure. I've seen reports from other hatch owners having the same issue....

Yeah that could be. Along with it having to go nearly vertical. I have a sedan so nothing to worry about here

I guess were getting your leftovers tonight and into tomorrow here in Montreal, supposedly 5-7 inches of the white stuff Although it also means mayhem because people have forgotten how to drive in snow over the last 8 months....
