Anyone find any good aftermarket rear wipers? Mine is shot, couldn't find any non OEM wipers.

wow very good to know

I can't stand things that dont work how they were designed. and it kind of irritates me to know that the focus has specific blades.

owner.ford.com had a coupon for 19.95 a pair installed and my dealer honored it. Saved 20 bucks.

[Supramk3]

they are not that hard to install.

Hands down, honest to god. I've got a set on both my focus and my mazda they are similar to the rain-X but cheaper and last forever. They work like nobodys business, they are also designed for higher speeds so they don't lift off the windshield.

Michelin Stealth Hybrids







Make sure you get the ones that say hybrid and look like the above they have two different Stealth and the others are ok but not the same. They come with a yellow plastic clip one the end you just simply pull off.

There was a thread a long time ago for the front blades. (http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284988)

For the rear blade, you can order the Valeo rear 12-A, but be advised, it's a much uglier blade than the Ford. I ended up taking the rubber insert out of the Valeo and replacing it in the Ford one. Strange since Valeo is the OEM supplier for Ford's blades.

'12+ focus's dont use the same blades as your 02 does. thanks for your info though, its something to check.

That being said, You are now the most awesome member on this forum with your 49ERS AVATAR!!! NINERS NATION!

Ha ha, thanks. Those blades come with other attachments to help fit on other cars. I've never paid attention to the wiper design on the MK3s.
