What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[Narumi]

Unless you want sadness, don't order from Aliexpress.

My last couple orders from them were lost in shipping and never arrived.

Ughh I knowwwww. I've been waiting on 2 packages for the last 3 months. Good thing the items purchased were small novelty stuff.

My experience with AliExpress has always been a flip of the coin.

I really wanted to buy these as an alternative to tinting my windows but was only able to find the sedan rear window version advertised on AliExpress...

You got a link for where you got the set from overseas from? How much cheaper was it?

They are on Aliexpress if you search civic sun shade
I have these magnetic ones too

I don't have a link but that cost seems about right.

It’d be sweet if that fit too

Just received these from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPJKSJL
For HONDA CRV CR-V 2007-2011 Rear Windshield Wiper Arm Blade Complete Set

Its only a tad bit short. (or maybe I installed the blade reversed.)
Not too bad for 15 bucks, no back order, and no cancellation.

there is no hatchback version sold on ali, but 98% of the hatchback window is covered by sedan ones.

!!!!! Woahhhh ordering

!!!!! Woahhhh ordering

Installed. Its about an inch short but I am fine with it for now. Maybe I will order a larger size in the future but worth it for 15 bucks

Spoiler: possible perfect fitment solution

Update: so the 05 odyssy has a 13 inch arm, the crv has a 12 inch arm.

So to achieve a perfect replacement, get the 05 odyssey arm and 07 crv wiper blade.
13in arm and 14in wiper blade. (oe fk7 wiper blade is 14in long too)
keyword:
Odyssey wiper arm 76720SHJA01
I will try the set up in the future. in the meantime I will use the crv set up.

Oh man trust me I feel you. I got lucky honestly. There was only 5 cars and I just said fuck it and jumped in line. I would prefer to do it myself but it wayyy to cold for that

These finally arrived in the mail. Thank you @hikaru! Great seller too.

Fits well, too. The same can't be said for the socket. Bought an extra set just in case I mess up trimming the socket to fit. Running the stock amber ones for the time being. Though whoever changed the sidemarker bulb before me didn't do a good job putting back the liner. Not the end of the world, but it doesn't line up well compared to the passenger side.

I know my car is badly in need of washing, but it's been a few degrees above freezing here for a while, and I'm afraid of going through an automated wash with a spoiler mounted using tape.

After watching some nerdy youtube videos, I put yarn tufts on the rear glass. Had very obvious flow separation in the first third of the glass, and printed up some vortex generators. Stuck them at the top edge and the flow stayed attached until the bottom third.

This ought to reduce drag and increase downforce a tiny amount, but sadly I realized I had low tire pressure at the same time. That will no doubt make a much bigger difference. Also, make it an even worse idea to go through an automated wash.

I'm lucky - the little wash shop in my village is doing unlimited for $25 a month. It's never had more than 1 or 2 people in front of me. It's not the best wash but it it get's the salt off and I'm usually done in about 5 minutes.
