Wipers suck

(I wonder if you guys have noticed all my similar questions all in a row....I'm just fed up and trying to fix all these things!)

Anyways, my wipers don't seem to work very well, so that's a question of replacing them with a quality blade or blade insert...what do you guys recommend?

Second, my fluid nozzles don't spray very well, so what can I do to improve that? Is there a new fluid pump or nozzles I can buy?

Third, my wipers slow down a lot (about half speed) when I'm spraying fluid...why? What can I do to fix this?

Thanks!

1st, I haven't found any blades that seem to last very long. Even the expensive Bosch blades didnt work so well. I usually buy Anco replacements now since they are fairly cheap and seem fairly good.

2nd, a 92 should have the sprayers on the wiper arms. Not much you can do other then to check to see if its clogged.

3rd, when washing, the wipers will goto low speed. Just by design.

Yeah I've thoroughly cleaned out the nozzles as much as possible, but they still dont spray very well. Is there a replacement pump I can try?

Also, are you sure they're slower on spray by design? I'm not really doubting, just making sure, because if you're sure I'll stop looking for a way to fix it haha.

Thanks.
