Flexible frameless wiper

Can we install frameless wiper on forte windscreen? Heard that it's much quiet and smooth compare to stock wiper.

Can, but maybe after the stock one spoil lor.

haha.... got e boneless wiper for FOC by my SE n still get to keep e stock wiper as spare...

usage wise is almost e same. for better ones, u can try dos wiper dat cumz wif silicon instead of e norm rubber. it last longer n serve better..

I've already bought the Bosch Aerotwin, and it's already in the boot of my current ride. Will replace the wipers immediately after I get the new car.

And yes, it IS very quiet, even with juddering! I can vouch on that coz ALL wipers I tried judders on my windscreen, even the Aerotwin, but at least it still wipes well and vibrates quietly.

I think my stock ones I will keep until the day my ride gotta be scrapped/sold. Then I replace it back.

Bosch Aerotwin how much?

I got them for S$55 per pair. I remember workshops outside are retailing around S$63 per pair.

I can see there are a few size for this kind of wiper, what is the correct size to use on forte windscreen?

Wat is our wiper size?

how to change wiper?

You just have to lift both your wipers. just push them to a horizontal position and you can actually see the hook that is holding on the wiper from the ride. Just push against the direction of the wiper and it should come free.

Ok, I've tried to remove my current wipers to change to the Aerotwins, but they were stuck quite firmly, so I abandoned my attempt yesterday.

Will continue to try again today.

By the way, any one going to try there type of wipers? I'm using the stock ones and they seem quite good too. Dunno why, but my Impreza's windscreen causes a LOT of juddering problems for all the wipers I tried.

Maybe it's due to the coating of the glass.

Bro, there's a catch within the lock, there's a small button u need to press on the wiper to release the catch happy changing.

I used soap (Mama Lemon) diluted in water to wipe also didn't help. My guess is the shape of the windscreen? The wiper maybe couldn't form a good contact with the wiper and hence judder, or maybe the contact was too good. Haha.

Ah, thanks for the information! Hehe. Will go release the catch later.

the stock wipers perform pretty well and my ride is park in the open for at least 8-10 hrs daily...

Thanks!

Had some arguments with google bro in the past, hence not really on talking terms. Guess I better to make up with him.

But my previous Impreza's ones had no problem coming off. Just a push and it came off. Dunno why the Mag one got clip one.

Today notice Carrefour is selling this for $25. The brand is SCHUMI. The size is 21" or 20". Is it ok to fit on to forte wiper arm?

So our wiper using which size?

$25/Pair or 1 pc?

I think Motec and Vim auto is selling theirs for 30 / pair.

think from the photo above it says 1 pc.. so should be 1 only ...btw..our forte uses different size.. should be 21 to 18 / 16 kind of size..? can anyone verify? TIA

ours is 24 & 20 inches . FYI jusco @ JB is selling silicon wiper for RM 25.90/pc & normal wiper @ RM15.90 /set so u guys who frequent JB ,they're cheapest for any wiper changed.Of course brand never heard of and silicon one is designed in Korea but China made.

I also got the mobis frameless wiper hopping to reduce the wiping noise. But after changing tht disturbing noise under heavey rain still cannot resolve.

Wht I notice is the far end of 24 inche wiper is always jumping during wiping action when the windscreen is not clean. This happens to both the stock and frameless wiper tht I bought.

I suspect the curvature of the windscreen near the edge is too steep. I will try to use a 22 inche wiper to test it out.

I notice from other cars at my carpark, mostly all the car install with bladeless wiper far end cannot clean purposely. our the wiper still can seat purposely to the glass, I saw 1 volvo the bladeless wiper at the far end cannot touch the glass.
Jumping wiper when u using rainX correct, last x I also encounter long x never apply rainX the wiper become smooth and quiet liao.

I waxed my windscreen to repel the raindrop without wiper during drizzle or light rain. After 3 times doing it, raindrop repel normally. Wiper dont jump now but must wipe regularly with damp cloth to clean dust accumulation.

Wiper is stock.
