Winter Wipers

Hey fellow Mini enthusiasts! I've owned my '08 MCS for 2 years now and I must say I have nothing bad to say about it. Aside from the little "known" problems such as the cold starts (which was recently fixed ) I can't find one bad thing to say about it!

I am currently looking for a pair of winter wipers for the cold montreal winters, but can't seem to find a pair that can perform well. Either they leave streaks on the windshield, or hardly touch the glass when going +100Km/h. Has anyone found a set of wipers that perform well with the car?

The stock wipers on the Mini are among the best I've tried. I exhausted everything available at Crappy Tire including those piece of crap Reflex ones and nothing is ever great.

I'd be interested to hear about other people's experiences with aftermarket wipers as well. It's time for a new set on my Mazda CX-9.

Rainx windshield treatment makes cheapo blades work real well.
