    Stupid Plastic Parts

    Alright, it has been subzero for ages up here, and half my car has been frozen up for weeks. The wipers are a go, but there was a healthy build-up of ice and such in that sort of area. So the other day I was scraping the ice out and I broke of the plastic mounting that holds your wiper fluid nozzle... Now mine are basically a solid piece with the hose attaching underneath. The break occurred along a thin area, so the only hope I have is to super glue it back on, but the stress is too great I think.
    Garrr... and now it is miraculously +10 outside, and everything is melted, muddy and gross. I *need* wipers... :( I think I will try again at lunch today, when it is warmer. Probably just too chilly last night. I am simply glad the -35 weather is gone, if even for a few days only!!!

    Alright, with some brain cell usage, I went and removed the rest of the mounting. I brought it inside my office, buffed up both edges with soem fine sand paper and superglued them together. Once firmly attached, I re-attached the hose and the mounting to the car and everything appears to be proper :P
