[HCV 19] Honda Clarity: Windshield Wiper Blade Performance FIX: Replacing VS Cleaning.

So many Honda Clarity owners has complained about bad windshield wiper performance. Its either bad wiper blades or it needs cleaning. I have been using Rain X (https://amzn.to/2vKe9Lv )since I bought my 2018 Honda Clarity and never noticed it until my last week when it rained. And the Rain X, wore off. Rather than applying another coat for the season, i wanted to fix the wiper performance issue. Of my 3 Hondas and Chevy Volt, the Honda Clarity was the only one with this issue.

To find out if its the wiper blade or the design. I cleaned both wipers with rubbing alcohol and rinsed them off. For control, I left the original passenger side Honda wipers on. I replaced my driver side wiper blade with a new Michelin Guardian wiper blade 26 inch ( https://amzn.to/2UjgaIy ) i got from Costco during a sale a few months ago.

I cleaned the exterior of the windshield with rubbing alcohol 50% (https://amzn.to/2GMBQoq ) on a microfiber cloth ( https://amzn.to/3b6Qp4q ) to remove any grease or residue. I could have just applied more Rain X but that would not have solved the problem any more.

Results:
After driving through wet fog and using the windshield wipers the driver side was clearer with out marring. We will need to see how long the blades last. It seems like the Honda wiper arms are applying enough pressure but the rubber may be leaving a residue. So the cleaning with rubbing Alcohol may just fix this, but having a pair of replacement wipers help.

My 2017 Chevy Volt uses the same wiper blades for over 3 years now and its been great. Even with the pressure against the window. So perhaps the Honda Clarity got some bad rubber. I dont know.

For the windshield fluid reservoir, its small so i carry a bottle of distilled water with me in case i run out of wiper fluid.

Stay tuned for a future update!

REVIEW! IKEA “Fyllen” – Pop up Collapsible Mesh Laundry Hamper

I just bought a new IKEA FYLLEN Pop-Up Collapsible Mesh Laundry Hamper to replace my 5+ year old hamper I got for a few dollars at a discount store. Other similar : Pop-Up Collapsible Mesh Laundry Hamper: https://amzn.to/2GiCkmh .

I could have bought other laundry hampers at Costco, however i liked the unique look of this one from IKEA. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

The one from IKEA came in two colors: blue or white. It also came in two sizes: tall (about 3 ft )and short (about 2 ft). I choose tall blue laundry hamper for dirt tolerance. Thinking back I should have got a short one to prevent me from overloading my hamper. (Oh well.)

This hamper came with a top lid and is solidly built. I have repaired my cheap hamper many times and found the materials of the Ikea hamper far stronger and superior to the 5 dollar hamper. I expect the Ikea hamper to last as long as I want to keep that style (probably over 6 years).

I also like the small built in pouch for storage. It doesnt have a zipper so you must keep the hamper vertical while traveling. The lid is lightly secured by a velcro tab. The hamper is probably meant to be carried vertically. Due to the size and build it may use it to carry beach or recreational sports gear during outings. I like the new hamper and like the modern design.
