    Ah okeh. So hindi pala effective sa 'ken kasi hindi ako lumalagpas ng 100kph. Kadalasan nga 80kph lang.

    well... kahit 80kph ok lang din.

    notice how some old wipers would "wiggle" at high speeds at hirap kapag naka-on na yung wiper while moving.

    Just bought Denso blades, ayus naman, tahimik and malinaw, cheaper sya kesa sa Bosch, kasi if I buy the Bosch nasa 550+ a pair, yung Denso 179 yung 18" tapos 200 yung 20"...

    im just wondering who in the world would drive so fast that their wipers would need a deflector, or wat ever u call them. i mean if it was raining so hard would you still drive so fast that your wipers wont be effective in wiping ur windshield unless it had the deflector thing?

    Yes, kahit di ganun ka bilis depending on the aerodynamics of the windshield's slope... Understand that as it rains, the blade will hydroplane just like the tires if the amount of water is high...

    In addition, during a storm, wind speeds can reach or exceed 100kph easily, so even if you're crawling at around 40kph but the wind is 100kph, you're essentially driving "into" a 140kph gust that overwhelms the wiper arm's spring tensioners.

    Think windtunnels...

    and i take it which ever way your car is traveling the wind is always goin to be facing towards your car ryt? cause i think that is the only way the deflectors will be effective.well just to let u know, ive traveled at 120km/h while its raining on my starex and never noticed the wipers lifting off the windsheild..... i still think it doesnt have a working fucntion other than to make a wiper blade not look so boring.oh and i think wind tunnels only have air or wind flowing from front to back. while a typhoon produces wind in many directions.am i right?

    ...kabibili ko lang din kanina pero mas mahal yung denso na nakita ko. yung bosch 500/pair, yung denso 300/piece. i opted for the bosch na lang. pero made in korea na lang ba ang bosch? baka kasi naloko ako eh.

    yup, merong iba like yung oil filter nila mostly korea yun,..

    Actually, yung pinagkukuhanan at manufacturing ng karamihang bosch products is mostly asian regions narin like malaysia, india, china, singapore, thailand etc.. kahit ba made in korea yan basta ikanga nila, andun yung 'german-quality that will meet asian standards', so it's up to you kung anu na judgement mo dun, kung bibilin o gusto mo ba o hindi. Like for example, yung bosch supertone horn ko, kala ko made in germany pero gawang india lang pala,. pero matibay. meron naman iba belgium o thailand.. basta it varies din from every country for every different products nila.

    ...well, la naman problema sa quality kala ko lang baka peke. pagkakabit kasi biglang buhos ulan kaya ayun na-binyagan agad. very smooth and quiet wiping.

Wiper blade
