[s-cars] Winter blade recommendation

[Michael Bess]

While we're on the subject of wipers, has anyone ever noticed that the
springs on the arm seem to lose their strength, reducing the tension on the
blades, resulting in a lifting at the end of the wiper stroke? I.e., the
blade seems to lift off the windshield on the driver's side at the far left.
Solutions?  I have bent the wiper arm itself a bit (to put more tension on
the blade) and that seems to help.

Buy a set of blade holders from Audi, buying two S4/6 lefts.  They have
airfoils to foil lifting.  Then use inserts when they wear out.
