When my wiper blades wore out, I decided to replace them with "last
forever" blades (as advertised on TV :-) I noticed that while the
driver's side worked fine, the passenger's side did not wipe the
windshield uniformly. I always thought it was a problem with the
blades, but this would partially exonerate the manufacturer: that it
does not work evenly still remains a problem!

PS: I am at 50K on my 1990 model. Still on my first clutch
and except for the catalytic converter have not taken the car
in for any work (barring service.)
