New Motorcraft Windshield Wipers

I try to stick with Motorcraft products when I need replacements. I picked up a 20" and 22" pair of premium wipers for my '14 GT. I'm not sure if a $23 price for each is good or not but I only replace them about once every 3 years since the car is garage kept and not prone to much environmental abuse. The ones I replaced still worked fine but 3+ years may be pushing it even for the premium type.
The biggest drawback is that the wipers come with the J hook attachment and it must be removed for my M type attachment. The instructions on the Motorcraft box are so small I needed my wife to figure it out for me. It wasn't easy removing the attached J hook part (finger strength) but I finally succeeded and the attachments provided worked fine, just snapping into place. The whole process took awhile but it's done. I haven't had this much trouble with wiper blades in a long time. Unfortunately I'll forget in 3 years. It's tough getting old. Lord knows what the dealership would have charged me to replace them.

We Would Replace Wiper Blades At The Parts Department When Requested. Our Service Advisors Would Also Do That When Asked! NO CHARGE!

Yes They All Have A Trick To Install Them.

Checking Amazon, The Price Seems To Be About Right For The Brand!

I Remember One Time This TWEEKER Lady Came Back & Complained Our Blades Were Defective Because They Did Not Remove The Dried Up old Bug Guts on Her Windshield! I Had To Explain They Were Not Designed To Perform That Function To a Point!

^^^ Man, that would have been nice yesterday. No charge is unheard of these days.
Thanks for the price check. That's good to hear.
