Your advice is to wait?? I appreciate your input.

Did you put any kind of coating on the windows?

I pulled tape on mine. 22” and 21”. I bought some Michelin XTs and they have the adapter in the box. I haven’t changed them out yet but I see no reason they won’t work.

I also just verified online and Michelin as 22 and 21 inches for the 2020 Z4.

So get this, just right now while it was light raining... I did the windshield washer rise on the window and it fixed the issue. Wth? I guess the window had something on it or unless the washer fluid has some type of repellent that made then go smoother. Idk.. I'm confused but I feel much better now lol.

Mine is in storage for winter, but it only acts up in light rain and is fine under heavier rain or faster speeds. I don't think anyone has found the absolute cause or solution for this yet. Waiting seems to be the only suggestion. I want to try using rainX washer fluid once the factory fluid runs out in the spring. Stupid factory wipers rub off my spray on wax really quick in just 1 day of driving in the rain.

Just wanted to chime in and say “same” - I drove the Supra for the first time in the rain today and the blades were acting like they were pressed down against the windshield too hard. That is, instead of smoothly moving across it they would almost get stuck and then skip across it. That usually happens if it’s really dry and you have the wipers cranked up, but it was pouring rain and even at the lowest setting it was happening. I guess I’ll see if it happens again the next time I drive in the rain.

I've had my Supra for a couple of months and I drove it in the rain last weekend. I noticed the same issue, grabbing and skipping. Based on the comments here, I guess I will wait it out and keep driving in the rain.

Yep me too. Had the car 1 week covered 500 miles. Loads of rain in the UK at the moment. Wipers juddery as hell,
particularly the passenger side one. Just cleaned them with a glass cleaner and seem a bit better, but looks like a waiting game for me too.

Anyone find wiper blade replacements online yet?

I’ve always had great experiences with Bosch ICON. Sizes for the Supra are 21OE and 22OE.

Kimblade is pretty good and you can even customize the color.
Sizes are 21" and 22"

The bmw wiper blade rubber inserts are typically cut to fit length.

 

[climhazzard]

The OEM part for both blades is 85212-WAA01.

How does that work if they are two different lengths?

The two different size blades are included within the one part number.
