Default Cheap, Quick, Ghetto Window Wipe Fix

I simply couldn't take my bad window wipes anymore and funds are too tight right now to buy new ones. So what did I do about it? I looked around the garage for a temporary fix. What I came up with was some electrical tape. It's not pretty, but it works. Hope this helps someone.

Looks better, but I hope that tape doesn't turn into a gooey mess on the first warm day.

No warm days coming for a lonnnggg time lol... I understand what you're saying though. This I just a temporary fix until the holidays are over and I can purchase a new set. This fix was just to stop or slow the water that just poured in through these seals.
