I "Re-filled" my car wipers last night...

Now this is something you don't see everyday...

I was walking through the hypermarket and then i suddenly found myself standing in front of the 'windscreen wipers' section... then it dawned on me that the wipers on my car are now coming to their 1 year's service... although I don't have much use for them, since i've been using the Rain X/Y/Z/O solutions and the water practically runs off my windscreen, I would still need to get a new one because the weather in Malaysia is just freaky... and who knows... I might find the rubber sticking to my windscreen one day... so I decided to get my car a brand new set...

Then, the big question came... There were re-fills and there were the ones that came with the frames... So being an economically tight person, both my girlfriend and I took the re-fills after much thought...

So, we went home, and I tried changing the ones on my car... hers will wait until saturday... so, I was the experiment... well, honestly, it does work after much reshaping of the frames... but I don't find it any better than the old ones... I squirted water onto the windscreen just to try them out and basically, the view didn't improve as I thought it would... hhhmmm.... low grade rubbers perhaps?? no wonder it was so cheap...

So the lesson of the day is, don't buy cheap re-fillable windscreen wipers...

Now... back to work... still have to finish the handed-over job... ayam...!!!!
