gen 3 wiper blades

[sonicbloo]

Just ordered a pair of genuine Mopar from the US £63 inc shipping . Won't be here for at least 2 weeks, hope it doesn't rain until then........

Loads advertised on ebay UK, but don't look like they'll fit. A US forum search says they have to be genuine Dodge, unless anyone knows different ???

No replies, so I'll just update my post in case anyone else asks the same question and needs a quick solution

I took my old blades to a local car accessory shop, and bought some similar looking wiper inserts, and a tube of black adhesive (total cost £10 ish)

I removed all traces of the old rubber and cut the inserts to length. It was a bit of a messy job with the adhesive (Tiger seal or similar) so gloves are recommended. After a couple of hours held in place with tape until cured, I have a pair of wipers again.

I'll put the new blades on the car when they arrive, but at least I have emergency spares I can fall back on.

Surprised you guys are driving your cars around, Down here the roads are covered in salt!

Could you not get a pair of replacement wipers from Halfords, most wipers come with a universal fitting kit?

Not sure about Halfords, but I doubt it. Local Motosave didn't have a match and they recommended the inserts be cut to length. A VOA forum search concluded OEM only.

My car's been out twice this year, last weekend had a good 150 mile breakfast blast to Whitby, via Leeds, with the 'Leeds supercar meet' gang
