Question HELP,-- with Zoops billet wipers

Hey JOEM,------------ ect.
I am in the process of putting a set of the Zoop wipers on my car and I have a few questions.
After you got yours on, do you think they do as good a job as the stock blades?
Did you have to bend the square wiper arm to prevent it from hitting the windshield and the black windshield trim?

Reason I ask is, I have put one on and the wiper seems to leave patches of water on the windshield.
Is that what I can expect?
Any installation tips?
I did file the hole out so it would fit the wiper shaft.

THANKS for any feedback.

BTW----- they sure are pretty

I also had to file the wiper arm holes to get them to fit over the wiper shafts. But that was the only mod I needed to do on them. They do a fine job of wiping the windshield, at least so far. Installation was straightforward, so I don't have any tips for you, sorry. Wish I could have been of more help.

Thanks JOEM, that's the kind of info I was looking for.
If yours wipe good mine should also, so I know the problem isn't the design.
I did end up shortening the drivers side arm a couple inches but that's about it. Haven't finished the other side yet. Still filing the hole.------------ Thanks again

There is an alternative chrome wiper that fits perfectly.



These are the chrome OEM wiper arms with stainless steel blade holders from Ultra After Thoughts Auto . They are SilBlade Colored Silicone Windshield Wipers and they are fantastic.
