So I raced a Porsche 997 Turbo today....
... and beat him bloody.
But seriously now, Folks....
Has anyone found a practical replacement wiper blade for the rear of our cars?
It's a royal pain in the butt schlepping to the dealer, and after reading the comments below on front wiper blades, it got me wondering.
Thanks,
Hegira

So let me get this right, Last monday you race a F550 Maranello and today a 997 and you beat them both? WOW you must have the fastest MINI on earth. Or you're a pathological lier.
EDIT: Man someone beat me to it.

it doesn't count as street racing unless you did it in a 25mph school zone

Best bet is to get the latest version of the blade from the dealer and then just buying generic refills from your local auto shop and cut them to size.

hehe good way to get everyone's attention. bet most people cared less about the wiper blade question.
but i was also wondering about it. it really sucks. the rear one that is. maybe it's also cause there's so much dirt and nasty stuff sitting on the window it doesnt allow the wiper blade to work AS well?
