WOW...I'm a dumbass!!!!! PICS Inside
 

Well here is what happened...when ever I wash the car I flip up the windshield wipers to clean underneath them and before I opened the hood I forgot to put them back down :bang:.....and the end result was my wiper arm being snapped in half, as well as, chipping some paint off my hood, but I couldn't get a pic of that cuz the flash kept reflecting off the paint :cry:

A quick trip to the local junk yard and 10 bucks later all is back to normal :D....minus the scared hood :emb:

your lucky, those are like 150 bux new.

Thank god for the junk yard :)

u r very lucky. i did that once as well as a buddy of mine and we both broke the windsheild. as a matter of fact 90% of the ones that do that lose a windsheild.

^^^^ thats very true lucky!

wow... sux. I dont know how many times ive caught myself almost doing that. Good thing u found a junkyard and ur windshield stayed in tact. Ive gotten to replace my windshield once... PITA

DAMN..and I thought finding a replacement at the junk yard was lucky.

That wiper did go flying across the room pretty damn fast :engarde:

could have been worse

Lol funny you guys talk about wind shields, i was having mine replaced and the guys broke it trying to take it off.

WOW that could have been really bad lol. Bet you've learned to check the wipers before you open the hood now lol.

Seriously....I'll prolly never forget to check again




Wait...ya I'll prolly forget and not be as lucky :|

I almost did the same thing the other day but i got lucky and saw it before i hit the wipers...

Ive done that twice. "F*CK" is what you hear everytime i do it. Havent broken a windshield yet:)

:jest: well i've never done thins bc i always put the wipers down after i do the other side of the windshield :D.

Same here too
 

I kinda did the same. I was drying my car and had the wipers up, headlights up, and the hood balancing open. Sure as shit the hood went up when I stepped away from the car to grab my other terry towel. It just broke the passenger arm the same way, and not the windshield or drivers side. Many a cuss words were used after it happened too!! Kinda felt like :nutkick: I pulled in at the junk yard as the guy was closing his door but he let me run out and see if there was a good wiper arm on the firebirds he had. The last firebird had the driver's side smashed and that side's wiper busted, but the passenger side was ok. Talk about lucky! He asked for $10 but I gave him $20 for his trouble. Swat


:bigun2:

This has never happened to me, i hope never does

i always forget to do under the wipers :)

I've done this maybe 3 times and each time slammed the crap out my windshield. Thank Jesus nothing happened.

LOL...wish that was my case...save the me trouble of huntin down a wiper arm and maybe losin a windshield

More like a Lucky Dumbass.... .... :) j/k! Good to know you fixed it by replacing the wiper arm for $10, you're lucky it didn't bust windshield or anything.
