Be careful when lifting/washing car etc. This has been a problem with front wipers forever as far as damaging hood if left in up position and then opening hood when drying car.

 

I got those marks as well!

But thats another discussion

 

I like rear wipers, and i use it in rain or snow ^o^

 

I cut a piece of 1" foam pipe insulation (less than $3.00 for an eight foot length) the length of the wiper blade of slide it over the wiper blade and arm any time I raise the blade. If the arm is bumped and falls over foam hits the car not the metal part of the wiper blade. Problem solved.

 

Yeah, I read about this over there too, I did the zip tie thing and haven't looked back-- Easy and hardly noticible, KH

 

take it off......you dont need it

 

There are mini zip ties that are maybe 1/16" wide that you can barely see when used. Like you said, quick, easy and hardly noticeable.

 

Happened to me also. Pisssed!!

 

I like this idea. Nice and simple.
