Evo IX, Duralast Flex Rear Wiper Caught In Trunk Lid

These wipers work great on my '02 Bugeye and '99 4Runner but the Evo does not like them, they skip and bark unless the windshield is very wet. They also make a loud wind sound.

But besides that, after a few months the rear one got caught in the trunk lid. I didn't notice it happen, just one day it wouldn't wipe, when I checked it I found it caught in the lid. I released it, hoping it was a fluke and went about my business. A month or two later it happened again. I guess these things are just too big and clunky.



Anyone else ever experience this?

Yes I searched for "rear wiper trunk lid" and "rear wiper trunk" and got bupkis.

I bought the Autozone wipers once and they seriously suck. Whenever the temps go below 55F I guess the rubber gets harder and make a ton of noise.
