ing-schu@online.no Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I can now confirm that the Millenia hidden wiperarms works on the Xedos. Since the Xedos has no two-position feature, there is one slight downside. The swept area is moved abit towards the hood, leaving a larger area unswept by the driverside a-pillar. No big deal though; I guess about one inch less in the middle, abit more in top corner.

Renboy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I much perfer the hidden away millenia wipers. And that was the other thing, my sepertine belt is cracking and I need new wipers. I'll skip the wipers. Even the most expensive wipers are only $50/pair...why you being so cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ren I don't drive in the rain, so why d oI need wipers? The last time I drove in the rain was MWM07, which was a fucking hurricane, and the wipers did very well, even better then on my Jeep really. The techs notes are "drive belt yellow - suggest replacement in next 3k, wiper s cracked, suggest replacement" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbylamb2006 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok but just pretend with me: It's a nice sunny day, no humidity, about 82 degrees outside, you back out of your driveway with your sunroof back, windows down and tunes turned up..it's a lovely day for a drive with your millenia, then all of a sudden you're 3 hours from home because you went down the interstate at speeds of 90 mph and it starts to get cloudy and dark, then you let up your windows and close your sunroof and it starts to rain....and your windshield wipers are cracked and all you can do is let the wipers clean what they can off the windshield in the meantime scratching the dog crap out of your windshield? what now?

ing-schu@online.no Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 There are two things I never compromize with. Wipers and tyres. If I couldn't afford top notch, I'd be driving a car too expensive for me. I fitted Bosch Icons (21 and 22) with the new arms, seems to work fine as well as look clean.

///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I fully agree on tires, I will get the best for what there use is and maintain them as such. 2002 - whenever I drive the millenia I check the weather all day long, both where I'm at and where I will be traveling to, if there is any chance of rain I simply don't drive, plus as I said, in massive rain storms they still work fine. and they look ok to me so I don't see what there talking about. The would be the original wipers however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 first of all, he usea a trailer and nwo that thing crushing the roof, get a damn suv. Cars are not multi-purpose, never have been, thats why I needed 3. And if a job comes though you can be DAMN sure I'll have a wonderful 2004 silver audi s4...in another country though. any crap, most roof racks are only rated for 100 lbs, the millenia would be even less, I can use more because I have my safari rack, but when I tow I go heavy. Just today I had a trailer weighing in around 2000lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I can pull 3200 lbs with the Xedos, and carry 190 lbs on the factory roof mounts Did I forget to mention how good it is in deep snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renboy Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 On the Xedos there are. I remember Xedos posting pictures of them. 2000lbs, big deal, that's lighter than pulling a small car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
