Hi everyone!
My name is Wally and i'm the proud new owner of a 2010 Mazda 3 GT in Black! The car is great! Alot more refined than the 2000 Civic i used to drive.
Not sure if anyone is still here from the old bcmazda website.. but i used to frequent that side when i had a 2002 Protege... So i'm sorta new but not really.
On a final note, i've had the car for a total of about 20hrs... and the wipers streak like hell already!! Also, there's these bad water marks on the windshield which made driving home last night in the pouring rain a bit dangerous! Well, i bought some PIAA Si-Tech wipers (currently on sale at Lordco!!) and will install those tonight. My friend said those water marks can be removed with some strong cleaners.. we'll have to see.
Looking forward to meeting ya'll!
Wally

I just bought the PIAA silicone refill and swapped that part out. It was a bit of a PITA because the back refill doesn't slide in like the fronts, but big improvements. Honestly though, I think the rear wiper is a pos. Mine doesnt sit flush on the glass and i get about a 2" streak. |

I agree, but he has the advantage of living in a climate that you don't need the back wiper  |
