Re: A "REAL" fix for the 850 wiper arms

I see that this isn't a timely reply, but others might be curious as well.
RE: Anybody have an opinion on bracketless wiper blades vs. regular blades?

RE: the re-learn process

My experience has been:
difficult starting and idle
Started and shut-down a couple of times, then kept it running for a once-around the block.
