Need to replace wipers

[fatsteve]

Should be a simple one, but I've hunted hi and lo through the handbook and the Bible to no avail.

What size windscreen wipers fit the face-lift Chimaera. Also any recommended makes ie Bosch?

Easiest thing to do is take them into somewhere like halfords and they will match them up for you, I personally rate bosch as v.good wipers.

In fact, a big tescos (extra) has wipers that fit and work fine. I took one of the existing (shagged) wipers in with me to get the right size.

Bosch are great wipers but because the blade is quite rigid they do not always flex to wipe the complete arc of travel across the windscreen. Mostly evident on the passenger side but it is an MoT failure issue. Luckily for the me I know my local garage very well and they let it go, but worth bearing in mind. If I was you I would get the Bosch blades, and save the old ones (presumeably still ok, just a little worn) for the MoT if the tester is strict!
Just my experiences of course, but hope they help!

Oh, I'll post the Bosch part number up later, FYI!
