    Wiper tip

    When replacing your front wipers (22" main, 18" passenger) keep hold of the passenger wiper if it's not too bad and swap it out at the rear (16" I think).

    No problems with clearance of the spoiler or any fouling and as my Girlfriend keeps saying (for some reason) two extra inches makes a huge difference

    Unless all 3 have gone out at the same time like mine have.....

    and another little tip....keep the best one and use it as an aquablade type tool for removing all the excess water after washing just prior to final leathering off....

    There is one more joke here that would bring this line of thought to an end.....if I'd met ghanda in person I'd post it and finish off this predictably sordid little saga.
