Suspended rubber on conventional wiper blades often create differences in pressure points against windshields during operation. This leads to certain sections of the windshield uncovered. To counter this, Bosch developed "flat-blade technology" that incorporates a mono steel spring and an exclusive rubber formulation, thus enabling the Clear Advantage product to apply even pressure along the entire wiper blade and windshield.

The new Bosch wiper also features quick clip adaptor that fits 96% of the vehicles in the ASEAN region. The new Clear Advantage wipers are available in stores now and priced at RM65 a pair. Purchase can be made on-online via Lazada and such as well.

Silicone wipers at Brothers cost only RM5 for a pair ( even for size 20 and above ). Rather change frequently for RM5 due to our weather.

I use Quartz from one tyre shop, then later for my other cars I bought from Aeon, got 2 or 3 brands. I heard from friend Mr. DIY is cheaper, but not sure how good.....

Yup, DIY is generally cheaper. Currently I use wipers from DIY but just the rubber ones, very cheap.

Before silicone ones, I was using rubber ones too, but every 6 months to a year sure have to change (I use cheapo ones that is why) but now even cheapo silicone ones can last.....lol

I was using cheapo silicone last time and after 1 year or so not wiping clear anymore so replace with another cheapo silicone but then it was noisy, so now back to rubber.

Last time the silicone I bought in Tesco were pretty silent too actually, but the silicone I bought after that from a street vendor (you know sometimes they sell wipers at car wash or at road side) was very squeeky if not enough water and finally I cannot stand it and throw them away after just a few months and bought these last rubber ones at DIY. I decided to just buy these rubber ones coz they're just much cheaper than silicone. Now actually the rubber wipers on my wife's car is also a bit noisy but on my X is pretty silent even though both exactly the same brand bought at DIY! Go figure...:confused:

However I do use rain X on my screen. With rubber wipers it actually wipes away the Rain X and need to continuously apply like monthly. With silicone ones it last a long time.

Last time I tried similar stuff to Rain X (or maybe Rain X too) but ended up giving wiper judder! Or maybe I didn't apply it properly...:hmmmm: After that I never use such product anymore but just use normal car wax.

Hello guys, need advice from sifu's here.

I've got a friend who wants to mod his super duper STOCK 4k engine in his Corolla KE70.

I advised him already on swapping the engine with a 4age, particularly silvertop or blacktop.
But due to his budget, he can't. so just sticking with his 4k engine.

And now he plans on going BIKE CARBS, because weber is just damn expensive!! not to mention a monster of FC. any ideas on how to do it? if so, what bike carbs is suitable for it? Cheapest one...
