I thought that today would be a good day to change the windshield wipers. We already had experienced an early bout of rain a week or so ago, so I didn’t want to be caught again with streaky wipes. So, I headed to the local Kragen Auto Parts to pick up some replacement wipers. At first, I picked up some Bosch windshield wipers and took them outside the store for sizing. The 17″ Bosch wipers were the exact size. However, when I returned to the store, I noticed that they only had one in stock. That wouldn’t do. So, I picked up a pair of Trico 17″ windshield wipers and headed outside to install them. However, when I removed the old wipers, I discovered that the Trico 17″ wipers were short. Glad I tried to install this in the Kragen parking lot this morning instead of waiting until I returned home after work. So, I went back into the store, returned the Trico 17″ wipers and purchased a pair of Trico 19″ wipers. How is it that the 17″ wipers on one brand would be the same length as the 19″ wipers on another? I don’t get it.
