front aero wipers

[dav150n]

did anyone find an easy way of taking the old wiper arms off?
tried prising it and snapped the plastic trim that goes along the bottom of windscreen
some help please

Lift the wipers up, (unscrew nut first ) and give it a firm 'tap' below the spring bit, it should just pop out mate.

I've got aero wipers too, but not the new arms, had retro fit ones that fit the old arms.

been pulling like a bitch, no joy. filled with wd40 and stuck cover back over
try that tommorrow mate cheers. it's fooking pitch black now

nope

sorry but you just need to pull them off, try not to leaver just on one side as you need even pressure all the way round

failing that get hold of a small bearing puller


BTW I found an interesting thread on briskoda about Renault aero wipers clipping straight on and some pics, check out the link as they might be cheaper than the polo ones

Has anyone tried this site regarding changing over to the "Flat" style aero blade? Seems real reasonable and im really tempted with it?

 

[rashcupra]

flip the cap take the nut off point wipers away from screen and rock from side to side front to back and it releases it every time!

You talking about the valeo ones? Of you are I have some on my tolly and they look good and do a fantastic job.

 

[Diaman]

Yeah the flat blade conversion ones? Says that you can use your original arms and just connect these on? If so, saves a hell of a lot of money instead of buying the Aero Arms?

 

[Nathanio]

I've got them on the toledo and look smart (not as smart as true aeros) and give better results than my bosch's did. worth the money

I've got the Renault Aero wipers on mine, from the Scenic. Can post some pics up tomorrow if you like. I'm happy with them - £33 well spent IMO.

So the Renault wipers are £30+ but do you require the wiper arms? Or are these retro fit for old arms?

 

[Nathanio]

Believe they are retro fit and are bosch blades. Wiperblades are a fantastic company and i highly recommend them after dealing with them.

I'm very pleased with my Valeo blades. Those and my HIDs finish my car off nicely as I do lots and lots of miles so need comfort and stuff that works!

No - they fit on the existing arms. And yes, they're Bosch blades.

hey can some1 confirm what im thinking? that the normal blade sizes are 19" and 21"? thanks

 

[rashcupra]

i might steel a set of a written off car where i work

 

[Guinness]

any more info on these megan blades?

 

[Wardy TDi]

You'll need to head over to Briskoda - and probably search for 'Renault Wipers' or something similar.

It's the Scenic ones you want for the Ibiza, as I've already said. The Megane ones are too long.
