I bought a 6' X 2" neoprene pipe insulator at Home Depot (cost $1.67). Cut it to fit each wiper and inserted the windshield wipers inside. Easy on and easy off. Don't get the pipe insulators that will glue together!

Basically it's just soaking the new blades in a pool of UV 303 before putting them on. No idea if it really works, but I like both ideas, as there's almost nothing better than going down the road and putting on the wipers and they ACTUALLY clear off all the water.

Anyway, here's the link:

HA! Talk about timely! I was just responding to someone else's post about protectors and by the time I got my reply together and posted it, it came right after yours! PERFECT!

Yes, that's what I use. I do carry a couple of spares as I have had them come off on REALLY windy days.

30 feet? I'm having a tough time finding one that's 30 feet. Do you have a link you can post?

Also, just a thought...if you have a 30 foot hose, and let's say you use it two or three times a week, do you disconnect after each use? If so, what happens to all that propane in the 30 foot hose? Does it just vent to the air? I'm hoping these hoses have some sort of way to keep from losing all the propane...but then again, maybe that would be dangerous. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks.

We also use those as cushions to quiet and secure the TV mounts and extra cushioning for the wine rack and wine glass rack. Outside they are the protection for our bicycle frames while they are on the rack.

Bought 2 of these for the Tow Bar connection to my Toad. Much easier to remove.

Dang! Why didn’t I think of that?! That’s a great idea for the bikes! No wine glasses...we just use straws. 🤣
