thats a blade used to dry your car. It molds to the surface of your car and is made from medical silicone so it doesnt scratch your cars surface when drying.

It is just a squeege for your painted surfaces on your car...

You should not get electrical current jumping from the wire unless there is a part that has been worn thin due to engine heat (plastic melting on the wire) or there is a crack in the wire. A crack can cause an electrical jump even when they eye can't see the crack.

I figured this out the hard way when I touched a wire one time and was shot several times from it. I then shut the engine off and checked the wires and sure enough a super small crack. ----just felt like a hot wire for cows.....

Make sure your wires are good the entire length and make sure they aren't touching the engine and melting.


Also check your tires...make sure you don't have any bubbles. A lot of times bubbles in tires won't shake a car unless the tire spins at a ceartain rate.

Ok well I got my separators and I was going to put them on and I realized that i put the shortest wire on the second plug and the one that goes on the second on the first so I attempted to take the second one off and the boot broke so now I have to wait for summit to send me a replacement boot and terminal which means I get to drive my moms volvo till I get the F***IN replacement. But yeah when i do get the replacement I will check for the sparks at night. THanks a lot to everyone for the help.
