Just as the title suggests. Need to change - can a nice person direct me to a good link? Thank you

Best ones I've ever come across are the ones sold by home bargains at £2.99 each (beat Bosch ones by a long way). Mine have been on three years and still wipe perfectly. One needs to be longer than the other, someone will post the correct sizes I'm sure. Most wiper blades these days are universal and will fit yours.

You want 20" and 21"

As Covkid says. 18" both sides is factory standard but 20 N/s and 21 O/S fit and gives a better sweep pattern.

Brilliant thank you!

Let us know how you get on with the Home Bargains ones. I was mightily impressed by them - stick like glue. I keep meaning to buy another pair in case they wear out but so far they just keep on going. Other who followed my recommendation were equally pleased with them.

I just renewed the ones on my RHD kombi, I used Quantum ones from Brikkies, but they were out of 20", so I ended up with 19" & 21". Lucky I did, as when I fitted the 19" (on the passenger side) there was only ~5mm from the end of the blade to the seal, I reckon 20" would have been too long.

Can I just ask a question on this post please;

Driving to work this morning, I noticed that my wipers hit the bottom of the windscreen rubber everytime!

My initial thought is to remove the wiper assembly and refit it back on but one notch back towards the top.

Either this or I bend the wiper arm

Sorry, It's the way I roll. If it won't fix with a gentle tap then I'll use Brute strength and ignorance

Spline yes, big hammer no.

Clean all the splines with a sharp point before refitting - they clog and will not grip as well as they should.

Good point
