Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
So my silicone wiper blades finally came in (had to order them online as the local stores only sell the extremely shitty rubber ones). It's been extremely rainy for the past week here so I immediately got to test them, and the difference is night and day. Not only do they make no sound, but unlike the previous OEM-rubber ones they aren't leaving residue/dirt afterwards.
I’ve never heard of silicone wiper blades, and I’m really into my car. So… Are they good for Arizona weather?
I haven't thoroughly tested them yet, but in the 3 days of rain they've been really good (for a bit more context, I didn't know about them either until one of my mechanic buddies saw them on a prius we were repairing and raved for half an hour about how "they can last 10+ years" and "prevent scratching when maintained" ). I'm not sure what "arizona weather" is like, but if it's as hot and muggy as it is here they should work too.
Well, basically it’s super hot all summer like 110+ degrees, and also very dry. However; there is monsoons, and it has been a very wet winter.
