Boxster wipers suck?

Is it just mine, or is this common knowledge that I don't know about.

Anyone have good recommendations for a good replacement?

No, they don't suck, they wipe.

How awesome would it be tho to have wipers that actually sucked the water away?

I suspect you need new or a better brand of blades, my wipers do a great job,

I find them very good actually.....

Along w/ new blades, you might want to clay your windshield to remove any surface contaminants. Just like claying your paint makes it smooth, claying the glass will do the same allowing wipers to make full contact w/ the glass...

Coming from a Z4 one of the first things I noticed was how much better the wipers were on the boxster.

Looks like you need new ones.

Just you.....I was just commenting this morning the pitch dark on my way to work. (YES IT IS FRIDAY AND I DROVE THE BOXSTER! ) --- They work quite perfectly, while my "headlight pump washers" tend to work OK, I wouldn't really know as I never use them.
