Default Need a pic of your wipers

I had my car serviced Saturday. I would prefer to do it myself but I cant change oil very well because I live in apartments so I take it in to get serviced for oil. I also had the guys install new wiper blades with my oil change.

Tonight I had a 150 miles trip, in the rain. Wiper blades fail 10 minute into use. I knew it was form ****ty service. I so I pull over asap and get out to inspect. They never attached the freaking blades. It was just loosely mangled onto the connector with no screws or anything, not even snapped into place, either of them. I managed to drive another 10 miles before they flung off again. I stopped a 2nd time and tried to get them on the best i could without the missing part. the rain let up and I made it home, (out of town for thanksgiving)

I need to see if for SURE there is a missing part or not.

My experience with windshield wipers says that there usually isn't a screw or a pin that holds it on, just a pain in the *** little clip that varies depending on the type of wiper arm your car has. Did it look like he used the wrong adapter? I don't see any other way a friggen service shop could screw up something as simple as changing wiper blades. I would take a picture of what mine looks like but i broke my damn iphone. lol. Take it to like autozone or something and tell them your year/make/model and they should have the right part for a few bucks.
