It`s to prevent the wiper blades from drying out, the sun heats up the windshield and dries out the oil in the wiper blades.

It's going to snow.

On a serious note, the dashpad in my 1970 Buick is the original. The car is a convertible and spent...probably several decades of time baking in the sun, overall. Top up, top down, whatever. I put 300K miles on that car personally.

The dashpad never faded. It is as deep black as it was when it was installed in 1969. All I ever did was clean it. Maybe they fade badly nowadays...

It's to keep the blades clean. Wouldn't want them touching that dirty windshield.

SirMike · 06-01-2016, 01:20 PM

OP, did you ever find out why the person does this??? I am very curious.

I like the packing tape holding on the passenger side mirror.

The wipers cost more than the car, seriously have you bought a pair lately? I think I paid $30 plus for the last pair I bought.

I just buy the refill inserts from RockAuto.com - along with some air filters, cabin air filters and oil filters...save some good dough doing so.

First, is he related to this guy: http://www.boredpanda.com/carboard-p...ax-siedentopf/

Second, where in Crestline, imma drive up there when school lets out and ask him.

Why not just pull the wiper arms up if he doesn't want them to touch his/her windscreen for whatever lame reason? Only time we do that here isin the winter to keep wipers from freezing.

I dont believe that's an issue in CA. Looks like a crazy person's car to me. I would avoid rather than provoke.
