Re: Mitsubishi Pajero SFX - Project Overland Conversion Changed my windshield wipers this morning.
Noticed one of the blades was tearing a few days ago.
Went to my trusted shop at Opera House: Shreyas Motors. Have been dealing with the owner Hitesh since years and he's become a good friend now.
Told him i need regular Bosch wiper. And casually asked him the cost of the Aero Twins. I love how they clean the glass but find them too expensive. Plus while using on dried bird droppings and offroading mud, these tend to deteriorate quickly (even with copious amounts of water spray).
He showed me a Chinese clone. A pair for Rs. 400.
Told me that if i'm anyways open to changing blades every year, why not try these.
Took a risk and bought them
Cleaned the glass in the morning with Abro Spray and installed these. The old blades go as back up in the boot. Always carry a back up. The rear wiper blade was good and not replaced.
Quite happy with the clean sweep compared to my previous year old wipers.
On another note:
I was a great fan of iOttie one touch mobile holder. I hate sticking those "suckers" on glass and prefer a clear windshield. Therefore had bought the iOttie had also 'sucks' to the dashboard.
I bought one for each car.
However, in the summers these suction cups cannot take our type of heat. They loose attachment and leave a sticky residue. The company says to wash under running water to rejuvenate the suction cups but these get spoilt beyond repair. Happened to three of them.
So i'm revising my recommendation not to buy. But what i really like about these are their one touch click operation. Put the mobile in and it snaps and holds the phone.
So i bought a good AC vent holder from Amazon: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B01I3QGKS8/r...698841_3p_dp_1
I then swapped the mobile holding part to the iOttie one and i'm happy.
Wife hash't complained about decrease in AC blower (though she anyways hates the high setting - so it's all good).
Other stuff in the car:
Mobile tray for the missus (again as i said, the Pajero has very little space for odds and ends):
