[SAGRIFF]

Anybody using these type of blades on a TVR

had them on my sag for a year now and very impressed with them, no judder or squeek and wipe the screen nicely without leaving bits like some do.

[SAGRIFF]

what make did you get?

[clive f]

the ones in your link

I'm interested too, but do they follow the curvature of the windscreen correctly?

they should work loads better than the standard ones and not lift off windscreen, the guys from autoglass who fitted my windscreen recommend them.

Thanks - ordered!

Agree with all so far in saying they work very well with a good spray of water when required, been on my 350 for about 12 months and follow the nearside screen curve very well. Also work well at speed, given I only travel at a legal motorway speeds (on most roads )

Far better looking than the factory design IMHO

Mine just arrived today. Haven't unpacked them yet. Do I need to find those one way valves that have appeared in other wiper threads for the washers? Thanks.

I had a pair of the ebay ones on the Chim, they were fine, although didn't follow the curve of the screen as well as i'd hoped, and ended up with a couple of spots which didn't clear when using them.

Now on the Tuscan i've put some Bosch retrofit flat blades from wiperblades.co.uk and they're perfect. Seems to have a bit more flex in them so there are no spots that get missed.
They don't have the integrated washer bit so i'll be doing that separately.

[PIW19]

Would suggest the one way valve, yes. Save that wet look on pushing things away from the lights. Cheap and chearful form Halfrauds,very simple to fit. Would also suggest a single loop of matt black insulation tape to secure water pipes to the arm when fitting the blades rather than the cable ties. Almost invisible when done.

Put the new flat wipers on this morning. Not impressed to be honest. The O/S blade is too long (over the top of the windscreen, the N/S one doesn't follow the full curvature of the screen and, most importantly, they don't seem to clear water as well as the old ones. The washers are an improvement though!

[SAGRIFF]

That's not good, haven't put mine on yet.

[clive f]

length on mine were fine, will have to check purchase history on flea bay to make sure these were the ones I bought.

That's pretty much what I had on the Chim. Definitely worth trying to bend/flex the backing arms to see if that helps.

Tried fiddling around a but this afternoon aligining the blade to sweep correctly by bending the arm a bit. Will see how they go for a while before I change again.

Have to agree with Clive, mine were the correct length and certainly do not cross the sealing rubber. It was some time ago I bought mine and they still continue to work well given I do drive in all conditions.

Will post pics when I get chance, won't help much though.

[madbadger]

Bump. Any chance of a pic? And a measurement of the lengths of the two blades?
