After market wiper options

[jonbarrett]

What are my aftermarket options for wiper arms, blades and jets. I want a design that hugs the screen and is kind to the wiper motor. Any suggestions?

Leven Technologies' ones mate.

They are on the latest news page, near the bottom.

I keep seeing these on ebay too http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am... and may go for a pair, they have the washers on the blades like the leven ones but cheaper at 20 odd quid.

Must admit they do look just like the Leven ones. The Leven ones are a different shape to the standard blades and sit much better on the screen. Be interested to know what the Ebay ones are like - Go on, buy them and let us all know !

That's just the wiperblades, which is OK but the leven ones have whole new arms as well. The standard passenger side blade is angled the wrong way so making the blade sit high. Also at the parked position the last two inches of the blade don't make contact with the windscreen.

i.e.



The Leven upgrade means the blade sits much more level with the edge of the windscreen. The passenger side blade is also more curved to take into account the curve on the windscreen. It makes the blades sit much more level



The only problem is they still insist on cutting the drivers side washer tubing far too short, so either request they double the length when you order or have some available. Other than that they are a brilliant fit.

Unless you fit them on the wrong sides like I did. DOH!
