I have a 01 NB auto, just completed the first 5k oil change and had it done at the dealer. I asked the dealer to check the wiper blades they are dragging terrible, they agreed but it was going to cost me $17.00 to replace I knew it could be done chaper so I declined on the replacement. Just to make the story short I replaced them with Anco for $9.00 at walmart; however, and this is my question, the blade on the driver side had a metal piece running the length of the blade about 5/8 in in width, and the new blade didn't have this accessory. By the way it was only on the driver's side. WHAT IS THIS PART'S FUNCTION AND WHY ONLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE? Did I have mixed match set of blades on my hold over Bug?
I tried to put in a refill and the piece that held the rubber was too narrow for the refill I tried, so I got the new wiper blades, just to ease my frustration.
It's all idle curiousity, unless it has a real function then I'll replace the blade again, and pay for it gladely.
Thanks in advance......Willie
