A tear in BOTH wiper blades!?

[rugbysecondrow]

New ones....and have them tear? Lol. Maybe I can convince my dealer to replace them for free

Problem: Wiper blades are torn
Cause: Unknown
Solution: New wiper blades

Pretty straight forward, IMO

It hasn’t stopped snowing here since the 24th (Fernie). I had my Bronco ceramic coated and it’s sitting in the garage while the coating hardens. But I can say on all my F150s when the weather’s like this the blades take a beating from ice, grit thrown up from oncoming cars etc. I have learned to accept the wiper blades are going to get iced up, stutter, tear and otherwise perform badly until spring. It bothers my OCD as well but it’s the price you pay for bottomless pow!

Lol...clearly there is something on my glass or on the cowl trim that is nicking a spot on my blades, and I haven't found it yet. I'll reiterate because you're not seeing the big picture...
Used wipers, drivers blade got nicked. Thinking this was just a flaw in the blade, I swapped it for the passenger blade...and then it got nicked in the exact same spot. So you want me to go spend $40 on new blades and have them possibly ruined too??

So go outside and clean your windshield and see what it is. You should be able to see if anything is exactly in the path it is occuring. Not sure how you think it’s the dealer’s issue. The time you have wasted posting this you could have solved your own problem.

You are correct, I am missing your big picture.
