My own wipers aren't working right, and they were sticking up a little on the way to work. There's been talk on another forum between me and trebuchet03 a while ago about making a windshield wiper cowl for 4th gen. Jettas, since the wipers don't sit flush.

Intuition says that a cowl will help. Not many are available commercially - searching long ago, there's only ones for some pickup models. Really, that only leaves homebrew mods.

Good job with jumping right into it, more motivation for we fence-sitters. I was thinking instead of body coloured, what about semi-flat black, to look more like trim?
