I have been using a wiper blade ReSharpener for 30 years.

The one I have is a lot simpler, it is just a stick-on strip of lexan that is positioned near the bottom of windscreen. The edge of the wiper blade is cleaned every time it passes over the raised lexan strip.

My wiperblade lasted so long that it started to rot. The rubber tore and the metal wiper arm left a scratch across my windscreen.

Hell yeah.
Frederic even would approve of this

Perhaps the reverse blow off valve would be one to consider. Give us full boost when changing gear and bypass when under wot.

Who is Frederic ?

Yeah I here your pain. U have to shop around for wiper blades as they are expensive hence the sharpener.

The oil bypass tubing looks a good investment. Save money on those pesky oil changes
