I need to replace the wipers on my 95 Bongo, which other vehicle are they compatable with?
The reason I ask is if I went to Halfords which ones would I buy as they wont have a Mazda Bongo on the back of the box.

From memory I think its a 16" and 24" on the front and a 16 on the rear.
The 'Autocare' range fit well and are cheap - £5 or £6 for a set. No issues with them myself - should by dozens and stick them on ebay :wink: .

Yea I just picked up a set from my local "what" shop, cost me £3.00 most of them come with a variety of fittings anyway, and I stuck the same size on both arms on the front. Could never understand why the driver had such a small sweep area anyway, doesnt seem to adversly effect anything.

yep 16 & 24 inch blades front and 16 rear - don't get ripped off at Halfrauds, the arm are the "hook" type so standard type fitting so Wilkinsons at £1.45- £2.45 or even Tesco, we have a motor factor here called CAS (Central Auto Spares) Bosch blades with spoilers £3.95/£4.25 for the fronts or cheapies £3.00.....Not the Halfrauds £20 for a pair and then I could go on to add their prices for bulbs for the cost of one at Halfrauds you get 10 at the motor factor...........
