It won't pass MOT unless it is perfectly streak-free and wipes right to the edges........ so says my local tester anyway! Yes 11" .

I'd be happy if I could see out of the middle,never mind the edges! My Saloon failed its MOT on MORE welding,the wipers are fine though,maybe I'll take the wipers off it and put them on the Traveller as thats got til June before its MOT :D

You've never driven a splitscreen in driving rain or heavy snow with 8" blades... :o

Early cars had a passenger wiper as an option!

You certainly can't beet 8" split screen blades, especially when you are 6' 2" and look out over the top of them.

I bought 11" wiper blades from a fairly local motor factors ( Zacs in Huddersfield) £2.50 each. Very reasonable I thought!!
