Rear Wiper and Auto car wash

Ripped mine off today at and Automatic car wash. Had them stop the machine and found the parts. It's back together but a little cracked...

What's the plan or am I the only one...

Never go through those types of car washes because of that very reason. Lucky they were able to find the parts. They will swirl your paint and then you will have a major detailing job to do. That is the worst part those places usually post up a sign saying they are not responsible for any damage to your car.

You can search around, the topic has been covered before. Basically don't go to an automatic car wash for many reason. If you go to a coin operated wash, don't use the "foam brush" because it's super dirty and will definitely F up your paint.

As for your rear wiper, might as well do a wiper delete if you don't need it and don't feel like paying for it.
