Fitting Wiper Blades

Post by Ian » Wed Jan 06, 2010 10:48 pm

Received via email. Anyone want to write a few sentences about the procedure? I've never had to change mine.....

I have fitted the new aero designed ones on mine they just push onto the hooked ends of the arms and then you close the supplied catch to stop them coming off
