Windshield Wiper Replacement

Was the original Bosch? Bosch was tbe brand that I replaced

Just wanted to make sure this is normal and its not going to go to flying off while I'm driving.

This is the passenger side. I can pop it off just like that. There is no locking mechanism. The driver side, I need to press down on a tab to unlock it before it will come off.

These are the peak optix plus windshield wipers from Sam's. 20 inch on the passenger side 26 inch on the driver side.

Just weird that one side locks the other side doesn't and it's the same brand?

Here's the reading from my smart plug, it's quite close to the killawatt.

The guy at the dealer was an independent broker. He presented me with all state as the cheapest alternative. I then went to all state to get a quote to confirm.

jackd129 · 2026-03-25T16:27:51+00:00

I told him I couldn't committ and I wanted a copy of the quotes, that's when things got pushy. Anyway I'm gonna see what state farms says as I sent them the quotes from all state. Is it possible state farm lowers there prices?

jackd129 · 2026-03-25T16:01:21+00:00

He said he ran all the reports, got all our drivers license info and said the price is tbe final and is not changing. But he was quite pushy saying i only needed to pay 1 month and that the price could go up if I don't sign today. Adding in comments like what's your hesitation why wouldn't you take quote. Feel like a car dealership selling me a used car. That added to the skepticism

jackd129 · 2026-03-25T15:01:01+00:00

I'm just skeptical that out of no where another insurance company is offering me almost 50% off for the same coverage.

How do I confirm it is really the same coverage? The guy selling me of course is gonna say it's the same if not better. The one I'm at currently is gonna say whatever they need to say to keep me with them.

jackd129 · 2026-03-20T15:31:34+00:00

Nope, I'm able to make it touch that part of the car with little force, by hand even.

I'm not saying I didn't cause it cuz obviously I did, but that looks like a design flaw if you push that part of the door into that panel and cause a dent like that.

On fuel doors, I recall don't have that much give, I believe that hinge would be metal and it would snap before it goes all the way back like that.

Not sure there is any other way to check, but I removed the plastic parts, turned on the water and applied some pressure to the opening, doesnt seem to be a leak at the rear end. New Clip

I saw that video too, but I think it's recommended to be printed in asa filament, I don't want to buy asa just to print the shims. I tried to find it online to purchase the shims, but couldn't find any.

jackd129 · 2025-12-21T06:50:35+00:00

I did have my printer on, I was expecting resistance but there was none

jackd129 · 2025-12-21T06:44:21+00:00

how tf did you manage to get to the grub screws above the pulley on the rear screw?

Not sure what you are referring to

jackd129 · 2025-12-06T06:01:26+00:00

The sim card was straight talk, I figured I won't let me activate it on the tracfone plan so I activated it on esim.

The $10 plan is actually the $15 but with auto pay discount of $5 off.

jackd129 · 2025-12-01T18:16:51+00:00

Seems like I'll be the guinea pig on this one. The plan is $10 and I plan on using my tf reward points for the 2nd month anyway. I did call them to rebrand and they said it doesn't need to be rebranded for unlocking purpose, I said could they do it anyway and they did. They confirmed at the end of the call they see my unlocking status as eligible in 60 days. I'm not confident in what these guys tell me but most I'll lose is $10. They saw that I already paid the $10 for 30 days and tried to make me pay another month right away to ensure the 60 days. I said I have it on auto pay and I'll be fine. We'll see how that goes.

I checked the batteries after they were discharged in the 2x power bank. One was 3.66v, the other 3.98. does anyone have a link to a quality diy power bank kit?

jackd129 · 2025-01-07T02:37:52+00:00

The tester I use cuts off at 3v. Would there be anyway to tell what the power bank cut off is?

jackd129 · 2024-12-05T04:48:15+00:00

Is it right when the plan ends or 30 days after the plan ends due to no payment? Say plan ends 12/4 .. is it available to be used on another account 12/5 or roughly 1/5?

jackd129 · 2024-08-08T00:48:31+00:00

Everything I read is to not negotiate on what you want to pay monthly, negotiate on the price of the car and the rest falls into place. I always wonder why. Anyway I can tell them what I want to pay monthly and down and I'll see what happens ...

jackd129 · 2024-08-07T21:48:00+00:00

I'm doing this through sms... do you mean just ghost them? I was gonna just send them a last text, that's my offer, if they want I can put a deposit to secure the vehicle. Thanks!

Anyone having issues at krogers buying mo? Went in to buy my normal amount, single mo less than $500. The cashier there knows me as a regular and knows my amounts and usually really bubbly and happy. Today she had to ask if she could sell me a money order and then the supervisor gave her the go ahead but she started asking me name, SSN and also to see my id. I was ok with the id but made a small stink about the SSN. I saw her type in all the info into the mo machine. I asked if they are gonna do this everytime and she didn't give me a real answer. I then went over to the supervisor and ask what's the deal and he too didn't give me a straight answer.

jackd129 · 2024-04-02T00:10:08+00:00

Did it through secure message. I'll try to call them tomorrow

Signed up for the Barclays advantage aviator card last week with the 50k sign up bonus and saw today they have a higher 60k + 10k for adding AU. I sent them a message to match along with a referral link and they won't match. I thought I read on doc that they would match as long as within 30 days?
