#86142 Hey it 's ok..Most of the year I keep mine off..illegal or legal if it's not raining I don't have my windshield wipers on the car. Shear fact that they aren't painted so the sun hits the metal and blinds me..plus the car looks so much cleaner without them on. Plus it saves the wiper blades. Stupid or not I don't care. I carry them with me in the trunk and a 14mm wrench just incase so I can put them on

#86145 it might vary from state to state, but if the wipers aren't functioning properly I think I cop could cite you if he wanted to be a dick.

I don't have wipers on my hatch either, or a wiper motor lol.
Rain-X ftw!

#86146 I know in Michigan its Illegal. Especially during the rain, I know a few people who have been caught without them and were let off but it was a clear sunny day.
Its a $150 dollar fine for endangerment if caught int he rain without. I agree it does look much cleaner without them but I would check with your local ordinances to make sure you wont get boned for being vein about your car.

#86165 Dang! I've never had a problem with mine..usually in California it didn't rain hard enough to need them and the only place I would go in my car was down the street to work so I never needed them. I'd put them on if I was going somewhere across town and rain-x ftw too lol. I'm pretty sure you can get cited anywhere if you don't have them on but most likely a cop isn't going to notice windshield wipers when he pulls you over for something else lol.

#86166 I agree. How some of these people get caught are beyond me.
With the exception of getting into an accident and then the cop noticing it. But the you could they blew off.... Hahahahha, fat chance.

The first hatch I owned never had them. I was in college and didn't travel much and I did a layer of rub on Rain-X every morning. Year for waxing your windshield.

#86232 If your state has a safety inspection then you would fail.

If you tell the highway patrol they blew off it isn't going to change anything. They don't care how it happened just the fact that you're in violation. .. yes, I realize you were joking.

x3 lol
The car looks way much cleaner without then for sure. And so what if it was illegal? Most of the shot we do to our cars is illegal now a day.
So just take them off if you want.

I say FUCK THE POLICE!

Yeah bro they are super strict here. And they have started already crushing cars but its a way of life style for a lot of ppl here so they're never going to stop it. They might slow down a bit but not completely get rid of it.
