wiper blade conundrum
Just bought some bosch replacement wiper blades from Halfords. When it came to fitting them i've realised the old drivers side blade has a spolier on it and i've bought a replacement that hasn't. Sort of helping you in the 'tight and twistys' and giving you an extra 10 bhp do they actually do anything as i can't be arsed going back to change it!????

I'd make sure I it was on, it stops the blade lifting at high speed.
On the subject of wipers, I lifted mine to clean the rubber blades today and then opened the bonnet to put in some more screenwash while the blades were still 'up'.
Chipped the paint on the top edge of my bonnet.
BOLLOX!!! Feckin ****!!!!

beat this though, bird (flying sort) ****s on the car, now it's berry season so it's got a bit of blackberry in it. clean off said pooh so it doesn't stain and the bloody berry seed has chipped the paint
FFS subaru, i've heard of weight saving but having paint that barely covers primer is taking the ****!
why do we love 'em so?
