Just got mine ordered this week from Surewipe.com and installed last night. We'll see how well it works out but I'm doubtful it'll do any good. Did not add much additional spring tension. I think I need to start with lubricating the arm where swings out. A lot of crud in there from over the winter and has almost no tension on its own whatsoever. If I shorten the factory spring, lube the pivot point, and continue to use the additional spring arm from surewipe, I just might be able to get a half-usable contact patch from the blade to the curved window. Geesh......what a dumb design.
