At the start of the year I put my truck back on the rd ,and one of the new things i fitted was a pair of wipers from ESM by june , both rubber squeegy edges had torn off , so I phoned and moaned , they said no probs we'll send you some more ,which they did , I posted the old ones back as agreed , today jumped in the old girl and the drivers wiper blade is peeling off again ,anyone else experianced this , or more importantly where can i get some good ones.

I put some stainless steel wipers on mine a few years ago and the same thing happened. I fitted some wiper rubber refills, obtained locally, and problem gone. It is a pity when brand new components have to be replaced.

Sometimes local motor factors buy in higher quality parts. Unless the bit is unobtainable from my local factors, I then go to ESM and the like. It's always worth walking in and asking the question, basically because if it does go wrong, it's only 1/2 an hour and a new replacement can be fitted.

I purchased wiper blade refils from Halfords, these needed to be cut down (make sure you cut the correct end) but fitted into the existing chrome wiper arms and work OK
