$200 is a lot for wiper blades. But considering they have a heating element and the washer fluid passes through them, you are paying for safety and innovation. Not for nothing.
Thankfully we have FCP Euro to help offset the cost.

Um....Since we are talking about those specific wiper blades, is it just me or it is annoying that it dry scrapes the windshield first before spraying windshield fluid?

Sometimes, but not even close to everything. When I see stuff posted that is blatantly incorrect, I'll chime in sometimes and call a spade a spade. But I do my best to offer prudent advice based on almost 40 years of car ownership.

I would classify you as one of the most argumentative people I've seen on a forum. So again I would say, hey pot its the kettle lol.

It's a good idea every once and a while to run screen wash. Sometimes it may dry out if not ever used and needs that second to get the fluid to the wand. I have no problems with the wipers. I replace them every 2 years through FCP for free. Alot of people do not know that the tiny nozzles are on both sides of the blade and the system is designed to push fluid in front of the blade during the out swipe and then reverts to the back of the blade for the return swipe.
I see, I thought I was the only one but like forum member Nice Ride mentioned, maybe yours wasn't used frequent enough for the fluid to get to the nozzle and not a defect that I had experienced?

I see, guess only me facing this issue I will need to schedule an appointment for them next time (it is a family member's vehicle) as I don't have magic vision control on my C.
