wiper blades,found some that fit fine bosh twin pack spoiler

Post by chipvan » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:03 pm

Last night i was off to see a mate(well show off new bongo)

Found the blades were shot and flapping about

Tried a few types and almost thought i was doomed,but in halfords they do a bosh set(twin spoiler pack that fit)13+24 inch i think..

so if you get stuck try them..

Any wiper blades should fit, fairly standard fitting, use one of the adaptors in the box or reuse the existing one should be 14" & 24" from memory.

For the last few years I have used the "magic wipers" on sale at most markets for...a quid..lol, and found them to be superb, I did buy a set from tesco this week as they were reduced in the sale from a tenner to three quid but I will stick by my magic wipers, they do the job really well. So I suppose it's a case of whatever rocks your boat is fine. :D

Went to Terry Tesco's and bought some of their £3 blades. They work OK, just had to wipe of the coating of oil or graphite from the blades first; actually afterwards, as the screen became smeared with oily residue. :( Had to clean screen with meths :wink: but all is well now. :)
