Done it, and although the instructions aren\'t the clearest in the world, it only took a couple of hours.  And it looks brilliant, and works better than the stock ones (it doesn\'t lift off the screen at high speed!)

Agree with everything above, especially the instructions!

Thinking about doing this on my red Rex when I get it/ Just wondering...does it leave much of the to right hand corner of the screen unwiped?

Are they worth having? Recon I could live without it. Oh yeah, how\'s the install going?

They are worth it, depends on how much you use the car, pretty invaluable to me as i do a lot of motorway and this year will be a lot of track, the real benifit is at speed.

The install is still lying in the boxes in my livingroom as my baby is in the paint shop getting a full respray, after the respray i will get on with the install..

You decided on new carpets or respray yet? :D

Ah sh*t, recon it\'s gonna have to be a re-spray. Think the 7 will always take priority in the end. Afterall, you can sleep in a car....but you can\'t cruise in a house :D :D :D
