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 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…

    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

    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
