Windscreen wiper quirey
Heya Norma needed new blades and thought I'd get some refills so did a search on here and were saying maybe £shop so got some from 99p store and going to cut the blades down

Re: Windscreen wiper quirey
If the refills fit they will be fine, I found though that the poundland refills were too narrow and made the chrome part of the wiper touch the screen thankfully they didnt scratch it. I got a wider refill from a car shop and it was a much better job.
Too many Minors so little time.....

Re: Windscreen wiper quirey
the best blade holders to get are the ones for flat screens they actually work a lot better than the ones for curved screens
look on ebay for jag ones they are the same size 11 inch

Re: Windscreen wiper quirey
I agree about RainX. My blades are rubbish but the 'screen still clears well with RainX applied. I suspect that the Minor's steep screen aids it by giving a relatively faster airflow locally compared with that of many modern vehicles. Regards, MikeN.

Re: Windscreen wiper quirey
yeah think i may get some rainx and think i may try the jaguar frame and see what i can do but the blade i have fitted does not fit propery as the frame catches the screen so gunna have to get some more expensive proper refills
