Title: Wiper Blades?

Where do you lot get your wiper blades from then? Finding it hard to get some 20" blades with bayonet fitting! :rolleyes:

I got mine from Halfords! Really quite easy to find!

Ok, scrap that - just noticed (I\'m blind as a bat, don\'t read posts properly and used the New Posts to search!  :D ) that this was for a 2nd Gen, not 3rd Gen! But maybe Halfords do stock them anyways!

I\'ve never had a problem, any motor factors should be able to sort you out :)

Can\'t you just get a 20" Wiper and swap the rubber over?

I have to admit i didn\'t have any problems getting some, i went to Halfords and they had them on the shelf?

Ill try another halfords this week, just the one i went too every box had the quick clip attachments and none of the bayonet style plastic fittings in  :confused:

I removed my wiper arms to remove rust and repaint hence i need new plastic clips and wiper blades. Ill have a proper look tomorrow, probably just me being gay  :chat

The ones i bought had a little bag with all sort of fittings in?

can\'t you just use the old clips?

Ill go back and have a look tomorrow then, more than likely had rust in my eyes! haha

The old ones are in many bits as they took a bit of persuasion to come off  :( Bloody rust! been on a mission to kill all rust on the car the last two weekes, i.e repainting all arces etc before it gets any worse, hopefully put a stop to all the nasty rust for a while (fingers crossed anyway eh!) Time for a  :guinness

If my memory serves me correctly they have changes the clip (looks diffrent) but does the same job.

I think it looks like a lower case "E"

The last set I got from Halfords wouldn\'t have fitted, but they also sold a little blue card box with some little plastic adaptors in, did the trick nicely! So you SHOULD be able to get something there.....
Good Luck
