Sometimes I start typing and can't stop, it seemed like someone was asking for the definitive answer on way wipers.

I can rephrase, in the "for dummies" format?

It goes something like this:

None of them are any good, but you need to pick one because having none is worse.

My choice is felt because it's cheap and easy compared to doing the others right, and most importantly felt is forgiving, it absorbs the nasty stuff rather than failing at trying to push it around.

Best Regards

PS, I only ever try to help,

Rick,

My comment was not meant as a criticism at all. I'm sorry if it sounded that way. Quite the contrary, I greatly appreciate your copious contributions to the forum.

My dilemma is that I've purchased two durometers of rubber to make new wipers out of, but now, after reading your post, I'm considering going back to my original plan which was to use felt. The choices are what made my head hurt, not your excellent post.
