I purchased this knockoff rear windshield wiper arm for my 2017 Subaru Forester on Amazon. It was described as “WTI New Replacement Accessories Parts Rear Windshield Wiper Arm Blade Kit Set COMPATIBLE WITH Subaru 2010-2020 Forester Fit 86532SC080 86538AG070”. Sounds promising, right?

We absolutely loved our IKEA Manstad couch. It fit perfectly in our little living room, folded out to a bed, and provided extra storage: But alas, it’s discontinued. There are a number of knockoffs out there, but none with the same dimensions and, most important, full back along all three sides. We thought we hit …
