Wiper blades

[Deleted member 5499]

Found my Ducatos wiper blades to be in need of replacement .Looked on the internet and found a wide range of prices .Tried a few web sites most were not very clear about size or type of fitting , but one was Vipa Car Parts they were clear about size and fitting the price was one of the lower ones.
Ordered PM one day arrived AM the next . Correct size and fitting well packaged .
Easy to find on the Web vipacarparts .com Tel. 01925 940 454 . No connection with them other than being a satisfied customer.

Put your reg number into eurospares or similar. Takes out the guesswork when you purchase....

You *then* need the guesswork of fitting them.

Mine are the pricey Bosch Aerotwin and are STILL good after 3 MOT tests.

Measure them and go to asda car section or any motorstore.

I just tried the vipa car parts place that the OP mentioned and it doesn't recognise my reg number despite it being a standard autotrail coachbuilt.

I went to our local car spares shop for last lot of blades on car. He found the right ones and fitted them free...good price too

If you want them to last a long time take them off when you park up for a while. I unclick them, put them in a dark place and then 30 seconds to refit. I put a cork between the blade arm and glass when the blades are off.

Use a bit of carpet of thick foam when doing so or changing blades, i have seen a few screens cracked by dimwits not doing so.

Older thread but I thought I'd update.

I noticed my wipers had started to fall apart when we were away on our first trip this year, a couple of weeks ago. I bought a replacement set from here for just shy of 9 quid...
