99 TL pop sound, wiper blade replacement

Last week I heard a loud pop from the hood shortly after the car is started and moving. Not sure what it was but no warning lights. 57k miles. Is that the "tranny" issue?

Does this Bosch Micro Edge wiper blade fit our TL blade assembly?
Dealer always replaces blade on each 15k service right? 15k/30k/45k/60k, etc?

yes the Bosch Micro edge fits our TL. you need 24' driver side and 19' passenger. they sell them at pepboys for $25 for both. i heard they are so much better then the factory blades.

im gonna get them after my stock blades go.

check it......the first time my tranny went out on me, i had turned on my car, started driving.....didn't even get to 15mph, and pop under my hood.......thing is about 2 min later.........tranny was just going crazy.

so it is possible........i heard a pop on mine! you may wanna get it checked out to be on the safe side!

I dont know about any pops.... but i'll tell you what REALLY pisses me off, is the sound when our wiper blades extend all the way and hit the limit... its a terrible sound. Is it time for me to replace my wiper blades??? Also, when it rains, i cant see $hit! I keep thinking of rain-x, but i always forget. I honestly hate the wiper noise though!

Sometimes I have fog issue in the windshield, maybe I will have to apply Fog-X now. What's the diff between the Excel version of Bosche Micro Edge vs the regular one?

I will let the dealer chk the tranny at 60k miles service.

there really isn't any difference in the bosch wipers, they are just really expensive.

oem works best for me.

rain-x builds up and makes your windows appear hazy or streaky.

it's hard work to remove the build-up only to put it back on.
