Rubber Wiper Buffer
Fall has made its returned to the Pacific Northwest where it has begun to rain. I recently had the wiper blades replaced where the person forgot to remove and replace the rubber buffer that keeps the two blades from crashing together. A couple quick pics of the new one in place keeping the peace when caught in the occasional rain squall.

Interesting, I do not think that I have that on my car - but driving your car in the RAIN?? I thought that was against Rennlist policy.. :-)
You have the part number?

The rubber buffer fits perfectly into the corresponding oval opening in the lower wiper blade nearest the blade/arm pivot, so that the block faces up toward the upper wiper blade. I have pulled the lower wiper arm away from the windshield in the first picture. The second picture shows the buffer in contact with the upper wiper blade.

Yeah, I had this piece on my wipers but installed backwards from the PO. Brad got me straightened out at the Mariemont gathering....thanks Brad!!
I don't do rain often, but when I do I always use the "buffer". Stay thirsty my friend!!

I have driven mine on a few misty mornings and haven't seen any evidence of them contacting each other. Is this an issue?
