You sure did.
I had a plastic piece fall off wipers today. Replacement part cost £80ish quid!
The broken bit was aerofoil from wiper arm.However, I won't be buying or fitting. The incompetents at Autowindscreens will! Three times they have been out to fix the cracked windscreen. 2 screens and 3 trims later I thought it was fixed. I thought wrongly.
The tech had mentioned adjusting the wipers, when he first arrived. I raised an eyebrow and directed him to the trim gap at top of window. I then go off to see to lambs , etc. I come back a while later and he is working , in the rain, without pulling canopy over! So he gets moved into covered space next to cows. As I jump in to drive under shelter I noticed a blob of mastic on wiper. I thought nothing of it, thinking it was possibly some trim sealant that had dropped , and he would clean it.
Job done, I pay lots of attention to seal around window , and half forgot about windscreen wiper. Cursory glance , looks like he's wiped it off. But was only cursory.
Today, I jump in, and switch on wipers, as it's raining. Something clunks and seems to fall off wipers. Out I get and laying on vent is the aerofoil from driver's blade arm.
Furious does not begin to describe it.
Moral of story: if your insurance wants to use Autowindscreens instead of Autoglass, tell them to go procreate with themselves.
