Dual wiper blades circa 1989!

I thought these were so cool back in high school. I just didn’t have a nice car to put them on at the time. Better late than never.

A PermaBan, might be too kind of punishment for that.

Re: Dual wiper blades circa 1989!

You held on to wiper blades for thirty years?

I've actually always liked the dual blades. I have a set on my GTA. When it is raining hard, they actually work very good.

Don't know how you quantify it, but they work very well.

No - this was just a memory associated with the car. I kept the original wiper blades. This isn’t permenant, so hopefully I won’t get a permenant ban!

When I was in day care in the late 80s the vans we rode around in had those. All us kids thought we were so cool.
