September 2023 - Rear Wiper Blade Replacement (Kinda Custom)
Original Chevy wiper blade was costly as hell and the Amazon ones won't wipe properly. Went the old school way of replacing just the rubber. Even now most brands list rubber alone in their part inventory, say Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Mahindra, Chevy and who not, the Maruti. Cheapest was Santro's at ₹70, while some costing more than the entire wiper assembly. Being a rarely sold item, maybe unsold for 3-4 years and hardened. Bought a regular Bosch framed blade to avoid that risk.
Bosch Eco Wiper Blade 12" - ₹ 146.00
12 inch being another no-taker was also pretty old, but just by an year.
My friends always told I was very resourceful, but my dad's opinion was I am the best in wasting them, who knows me better. Frame and clips gonna go to the scrap.
