I have just got my Tuscan back on the road. The wiper blades were changed by the garage (I assume to get through MOT), they are lifting off at speed. The previous ones had spoilers on both drivers and passenger sides (these don't), any recommendations for replacement?

I actually went for the own brand from www.wiperblades.co.uk and they work very well. Big improvement from standard.

I've just bought a set of Halfords own make blades with spoilers on. They are absolutely fine one at 450mm and one at 520mm I think they were.

Hmm, I can,t get them to slide completely on the J hook so I am unabble to close the plastic hinge thingy. They seem to work ok, but it hasn't rained since I fitted them.

They definitely don't lift off at speed though.evil

Just push harder. Better clearance than wiperblades own.

Tried that. Even tried a bit of lubrication on the J hook. No ammount of pulling or pushing will make them seat all the way down.

My wiper blades have a built in jet mounted centrally. It's like a plastic block. Any ideas where I can get these blades. Went to Halfrauds and they don't stock anything like it. Not even anything close so I could remount the spray block on the wiper blade.

Annoying as I have a track day tomorrow afternoon so am guessing itll be wet on the way there.
