    $30 a year is rough man I know. I haven't bought new wipers in almost a decade!

      Well we do live in SoCal. When does it ever rain bad enough to justify the cost of nice windshield wipers?

            That's scary if you drive in the rain.

              option 1: rain-x and stay above 35mph

              option 2: don't drive in the rain

                  I bought new ones about a month ago preparing for the rain lol. I was being just a wee bit sarcastic. Now if only the seals for my convertibles windows were as cheep as wipers. And it'd be nice if my 3rd break light didn't leak into my trunk but it does. Yaaay for trunk puddles.

                      You should swap to a sedan trunk, no more 3rd brake light, and one less leak

                      Your drains probably need to be cleaned out.

                      My trunk had a puddle in it when I first bought it and I found out that the drain was disconnected so it was just dumped the water into the trunk instead of going all the way out of the car. Its fairly sealed now. I also bought wipers from rockauto that were on clearance just because I knew the ones in my car were shit. Best $8 I have ever spent. I was there buying something else and saw them.

                        I already cleaned them out with compressed are last season. I poured water and watched it drain properly.

                        I also took the speaker panels out and made sure the hoses were connected...

                          I would love too if I could find a white one with an is lip. And my trunk is very moist and you can see water coming from the 3rd break light but it's not enough to puddle and the left side of my trunk where the jack goes has about a 3" deep puddle now. Maybe my taillight seal is shot?
