replaced wipers on the wife's whip today

super tight fit and I had to shear off a tiny tab on the wiper blade to complete the install, however its all good and solid.

wife gave me the "damn, you're useful" smile. good times.

I need to get my dull ass to the auto store and do the same thing

I have found that silicone wiper blades last years longer than the old rubber ones, to the point I'd replace the rubber ones 3-4 times more often for one silicone blade.

Just food for thought. Since you'll be replacing them again eventually.

This is very true. Specially good if you live in a very rainy place like Washington state. Also good for summer. Frankly why even make the other stuff anymore.

When her jeep has problems, I get told to go to the garage and wave my penis at it...

Not sure the vehicle in the photo, been the Honda ones you can just buy the $7 insert rather than the whole $40 blade. The insert comes with graphite on it to try to make sliding the new insert into the track easier, but it still is fiddly

Is it just me, or do wiper blades seem to have a new mechanism every time you need to buy new ones? Maybe I just don't install them often enough to remember. lol
