It is funny to see all this talk about wipers. For months and months, I didn't think twice about the wipers on my car. Then, when I was visiting Gary Knox buying a set of seats he offered me a set of black wipers to match my hood grills and I jumped on them even though one did not have the proper hook on the end.
I hadn't installed the black wipers. Then I got caught in the rain for the first time and lo and behold my driver's side wiper flew off. I found it on the side of the road, but the little piece of spring steel that clamps into the gear slot and holds the wiper in place was gone. So, I swapped the black wiper onto the drivers side and went to the PVGP with the "Oakland Raiders" look. Thereafter, I stopped at Tom Baruch's place to obtain from him my rekeyed trunk lock and to my surprise, he says "you can't go to California with mismatched wipers", and he pulls the black wiper off the passenger side of his car and swaps it for my silver one. I hope we don't need them in CA, but if we do my wipers now match.
