Well after an unsuccessful attempt at buying replacement Wiper Blades ( didnt fit, now in the for sale section) is it the consensus that its the Dealerships that sell the direct replacements, and all other retailers sell similar equivilents ?
Correct Wiper Blades - LCR
- Thread starter Empi5
- Start date
The Bosch ones I bought from Halfords are a perfect fit and work and wipe perfectly with no smearing or juddering... if that helps?
premier seat are a great dealership tbf...i brought my motor from there no problems or nout...so go with them, but failing that get the aeros...im changing to them as i think they look the nuts
How rude the lot of you.....
Well now i know why i work in an office and leave all the manual stuff to people who know what there doing.
Started to change the wipers, all was going fine, easy this, until i let go of the wiper arm, whilst it was on recoil, and guess what. Yep , smashed the windscreen.
It could only happen to me ( but im sure someone else must of done it )
Now wheres that filing to be done.

hmmm cant help but agreeing with you. didnt hit it that hard, but hard enough for it to split in 4 or 5 places.
sh*t.... I've always been worried about doing just that.
Trouble is, I bet it hit near the edge of the screen, where it's weaker???
I've had 2 new windscreens in less than 6 months due to stone chips that couldn't be repaired

Not on your own Phil, last year while refitting my rear view mirror just pushed it with my hand into the socket that’s bonded to the screen and the screen cracked ever so slowly from top to bottom. 
I think maybe with the windscreen being an integral part of the body design aiding rigidity; it can retain a certain amount of stress
