Hi,
I have a very early build Libby - ordered October 2001, took delivery November 11 2001. From the factory there is a short spoiler or wing built into the driver's side wiper blade. Not the wiper arm - on the blade. When those wipers wore out, I couldn't find a replacement. Even the stealership looked at me like I was nuts even though I was standing there holding it in my hand, looked through all of their parts books and couldn't find anything listed other than the standard open spring wipers. So that's what I was stuck with, and I've ALWAYS had problems with the driver's wiper lifting at 40+ mph and leaving a big smeared spot right in front of my eyes.
I tried different brands of wiper blades, snow blades, triple-edge, an add-on spring that clamps to the wiper arm...nothing helped until now. Last week I tried the new Bosch Icon series blades. Wow, they are awesome. They are low profile, have a sculpted profile to push down on the glass, no squeaking and no smears. They don't look like a Speed-Racer add-on, either. Highly recommended...
They are about $12 more than what you normally pay, and at Autozone the application chart hanging at the display only listed Grand Cherokee. So I stood there opening up packages until I found a 19" blade. I rate 5 of 5 stars...
