#17 of 23 Re: Frozen Wiper Blades [capri33] by technoblue2007 Dec 05, 2007 (10:21 pm)
Replying to: capri33 (Dec 03, 2007 9:11 am) Measure your both wipers, the front wipes are probably 2 different sizes. At the Wal-xxxx near where I live I got Ansco Winter wiper blades for $5.88 each. The winter blades are enclosed in a thin rubber over the normally open parts of an all season wiper blade so they don't freeze up. They are pretty easy to replace yourself (as long as you aren't out in the freezing cold with numb fingers). Here is a link for that show the different types of wiper arm attachments and has a video showing how to change blades. http://www.acdelco.com/parts/wiper-blades/installation.jsp Good Luck!!
#19 of 23 MINI Cooper: Traction on slippery roads by dem55 Oct 22, 2007 (7:08 pm)
We're ready to sell our European sportwagon for a Cooper, but wondering how good its traction is on wet or snowy roads. Any comments?

Replying to: justgiuls (Oct 09, 2008 5:51 pm) As long as the snow is not too deep, it'd be fine. Replies to this message: ex_tdier (Dec 22, 2008 10:05 pm)

Replying to: bodble2 (Oct 16, 2008 1:49 pm) Some dude in his mini cooper today went through over a foot of snow. I dunno if he had all season tires or snows, but in all likelihood he didnt have winter tires as 99.99% of the folks where we live only use all season or summer tires.

Replying to: justgiuls (Oct 09, 2008 5:51 pm) As long as you've got the right tyres on the car, it can be great fun, and very predictable, see here for example.
