I realized I was an idiot today.
I replaced the rear window wiper blade awhile ago and found the replacement was meh. I figured maybe the spring was bad and just wasnt making good contact..........welllllll.......i noticed today that blade actually had this little plastic protector on it, that i never took off. Durrrrrrr.
I also spent some time today to try and figure out how to mount the CB antenna I bought. It was a firestick with a side mount, thinking that I would have easy access via the rear plastic panels, I was wrong. I'm refitting things, so I'll use the popular front hood mounts instead.
