I boosted my wipers with a twin turbo kit for extreme performance. However, with that mod I had to go with very hard to find and VERY expensive drilled, slotted and double vented ceramic rotors to bring the wipers to a stop. Well worth the time and money!

You got surprise coming when you get a car

The amount of effort going into this video is awesome

Didn’t even know wipers had brakes i thought it was a hydraulic system man I’m glad I’m subbed to Chris fix learning more about my car with each upload lol

The attention to detail is really impressive here. I've tried to follow multiple tutorials to do this (I don't do it often enough, like lots of us I'm sure) and this is the best one I've seen. The best on youtube most likely.

Yeah man Chris is the only one on KZread who really ever makes videos on this‼️‼️‼️ So strange …………

This is a great video by Chris. I'm a master technician of 25 years. I had a customer last week saying that their wipers were clapping the windshield when the wipers moves back into the resting position, even with new wipers. Come to find out that the wiper rotors were warped. I changed them and the wipers were back to normal. And I also replaced their blinker fluid with a new type of liquid with reflective particles to make their blinkers more bright. They were very satisfied.

Synthetic Blinker Fluid is the best. its rated for 10,000 blinks between changes.

please tell me you didn't forget to replace the muffler barrings did you? it's recommended to get them changed out every time you fill up with gas. but only on fill ups. if you just get a few bucks wprth at a time then they'll last forever.

Thanks for the support from Uganda!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to change my wiper brakes and my blinker fluid.

Got a full service in one day. Changed my piston return springs, blinker fluid, muffler bearing and my wiper brakes. Thank you ChrisFix!

U got me. Whole video im thinking, ive never heard of wiper brakes. Lol

The previous owner of my car lived on and only ever drove on a highway so he never went below 85mph. He deleted the brakes and I had no idea how to add them again! You've saved not only my life but everyone's around me when I'm driving! Thank you!

Thank you for the amazing video; it worked great, and when I finished the brake job, I also changed my tires from the old winter air to the new Spring fresh air. Thank you for keeping us well-informed. Tomorrow the alternator will get a fluid change because I have over 5000 miles on that fluid.

Where was this video when I was changing MY windshield wiper brakes?? This simplifies it into everything you need to know so it doesn't turn into a multiday job like it did for me

My man did so much work and put so much for effort for a shitpost that would confuse some mom AND still likes the comments. A true legend for our time.

It is such a simple repair, and I think that's why not a whole lot of people cover it on YT. Even my auto instructor from HS didn't go much in depth on this repair. So glad Chris finally made a video, can't tell you how many cars I've had to sell just because I didn't know how to fix the wiper brakes.

I have no idea where he got the calipers and pads, but the boxes are amazing! When he gave us a close look at them I was stunned.

Nothing was making sense until this guy said "AND YEAH APRIL FOOLS" xd
