Re: Wipers??

Hello,
Are the wipers vacuum or electrically operated?
The electric one will be fine. If its vacuum operated I would do a change over to electric befor driving in the rain.
I'm not real sure but I think both came in the 55s

Re: Wipers??

My electric, original wipers worked OK, and sure were a great improvement over the vacuum ones.

As with any vehicle new wiper blades always help.
