Wiper Blades

[conaero]

wiperblades.co.uk are 60yards from my garage and they cant get one to fit. They said main dealer only!

I am going to remove it tomorrow to see what's different and see if I can change the blade only.

Indeed Frank, you can buy just the metal backed rubber squeegee bit off eBay, cut to length and feed in.

We fit just the rubbers which we buy from Wurth and perfect fit every time the one is 0.6mm and the other 0.8.

Glad it's not my ineptitude then...couldn't get one to fit at all.

ok i had a look tonight and did get the blade off, but what you are left with is a unique fitment and you cannot get an aftermarket to fit. Has to be Maser blades only.

I tried to get the blade itself out and its got fixings on each end that are preventing me getting it out, ill try again now its at home.

I feel like less of an idiot now!

Bugger! There must be some non-OEM ones that fit...

OK, so my Bosch ones from Halfords were a straight swap but lasted < 6 months

Opie oils were listing Denso ones, specifically the DMS-565.

This can be made to fit very simply indeed, and is currently performing very nicely

I bought a set from the states and shipped them inside a car, they were about $20

However due to a bad back I couldn't reach to fit them, so for this time only I said bu@@er it and when having the boot lock sorted told them to change the wiper blades, so not sure if they will fit, but as I have the old ones when I get a chance I will compare and post up here.
