    Manual Windshield Wiper

    Hi, guys!

    I'm thinking about installing a manual windshield wiper on my 2005 Avenger. The kit is from Argo Adventures, (MANUAL HD WIPER 14".) I've read the installation manual, and it appears to be pretty straight-forward. Has anyone here installed/used one on their machine? If so, were the results satisfactory?

    Thanks, in advance!

    Yes I have one one it works just fine. It will stow in the windshield channel when the top is off. With the top on it will just hang vertical on the windshield. If you look at your windshield frame you will understand what I am saying. Works just fine for clearing windshield.

    Another vote from me, tough and works great, really adjustable and large sweep range. Only once I thought about having the electric one since it was raining pretty good, I think I will try to Rain X the windshield instead.
    I lost the wiper blade plowing some nasty brush and it was easily replaced with a larger 15" wiper you would get for any car, clipped right in solid.

    Great idea, Sparx! I believe I'll get a 15" to install from the get-go! Thanks!

    I also bought a 16" blade to try and fit, looks like it would be close though. 15" fit easy so it added to it's sweep area nicely.

    Be very careful drilling the hole bigger, I have personally watched many mechanics crack the windshields during this drilling process! I was super delicate on drilling mine myself and never had an issue. The holes aren't big enough factory to fit these arms, just drill up one bit at a time and take your time.
