Yeah. You know, I think next time I place an order with Rusty I'll order a
spare wiper blade - not just the refill. And I'll carry it in the car. I'm
really thinking of the trouble a wiper going out could cause.
This reminds me of how with my dearly departed Saab 84 900 I actually
superglued the
Just spent 2.5 hours replacing the wiper refill on the 190D Monowiper.
Tedious!!
Brag about a wiper change? You bet I will!
It's not in there totally as it should be. But then again, the wiper refill

You know, I got to thinking how a wiper
