Wipers

[Surrey_Wombat]

Does anybody know what Bosch (or other branded) wipers will fit out of the box if I go to Halfords? I know I should by the Leven ones but it's an emergency and I need some today.

Thanks

Any make will fit as long as they are 16"

Used Bosch 'Super plus' from Halfrauds myself. You can fit 15" ones as I did to lessen the amount of blade overhanging the windscreen rubber, but to eliminate this problem completely you would have to have 12" blades methinks !
BTW, even the new ones aren't very effective on my 95 Chim. Initial sweep leaves untouched areas, then return sweep is OK. Not sure if the 'spoiler' version would make a difference.
Anyone else got this problem ? Is this yet another TADTS ?!?

I'm not sure if we have the same cars here chaps. I replaced 16" blades with standard 16" blades from my local car shop on Saturday, and they are a perfect fit and work as they should.

I had new arms and blades fitted by a reputable dealer to cure this but to no avail , it almost seems like there are flat spots or even dips in the screen . Anyone managed to cure the problem??

Fit the Leven set.

The left hand blade is curved and fits round the screen pretty well, they also sit much lower on the screen rather than stopping half way up the screen as they used to. They also seem to wipe more of the screen, although that might be my imagination.

Seconded.
