Wiper blades

[MakaveliX]

Fairly handy with cars but still find wiper blades a bit frustrating sometimes.
Taking the blades off, no problem.

However with some bosch blades they have multiple connectors you can use. Is it possible to try the connectors on the wiper arm first, then attach the blade after, to ensure its the right one ?
As this means not having to disconnect the connector from the blade if its the wrong one ?

Fitted a few recently for my new job and lots aren't the traditional hook style which are easy to work with.

Thanks

You probably could but it might be tricky to take the adaptor off without the leverage of the wiper blade to pull on after.

Most of the ones I've come across slide the adaptor into the metal hook of the wiper arm, not that difficult and takes less than a minute to put on.

Just thinking the bit to connect the blade to the adapter may be covered by the loop of the wiper arm so you may not add it after inserting the adapter.

That is what I was wondering. Thanks

I agree that the traditional type can be a pain in the neck. It helps to take a quick photo of the originals before their removal

The websites where you put your reg in and it finds the right wiper seem to have been reliable for me, both in the correct size and the correct fitting.
