That's a real question, and I just noticed it tonight. I only have the driver side wiper still, tucked down further into the cowl. But I turned it on once today accidentally and it rode over a small part of the plasti-dip. If it does wear that out, I might be able to blacken the inside of the glass in that small area. Fortunately, it does not rain all that often here.

Vynil will definitely be more durable, but I had plasti-dip leftover and I thought it would apply more easily, more evenly.

Thanks! I'll report back if it scrapes right off!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
