wiper blade rubbers

Post by worzel4u »

Hi

After just driving on a nearby motorway in driving rain I've only just managed to free the steering wheel from my white knuckle grip!

Seriously though, visibility was pretty bad- the wiper doesn't seem to be able to clear the screen. This is despite a recent new screen and blade refill.

Anybody out there have any recommendations for wiper refills that work?

Regards

John

I'm now moving over to flat blade type, the short trial use (the method of attaching them needs some re-engineering) gave good results.

I have gone to a flat blade - much better. See other thread:

Hi

Thanks for the responses to my question- looks like flat bladed types are the way to go!

Again- thanks.
