Default New windshiled wipers....

Another rant....

New type GM windshiled wipers....like an Olds Sillowette....

that fancy dan silly conical tapered serrated fitting with NO KEYWAY....

not bad enough on the wiper blades themselves, but on the MOTOR HOUSING output shaft too>>>>????

must be SAE....Stupid AXXED Engineering....

make indexing the wiper blades a super butch job, just for the sheer lazyness of it....

double D fittings or indesed ***** been used for decades, but NO....

I"d fire the head of engineering for letting that sort of stuff exist....

Windshield wipers....we don't need no stinking windshield wipers! :D

In all seriousness I never use my windshield wipers, in fact it still has the stock wiper blades from 1976 on it (I'm not kidding). :cheers:
