anyone tried "halfords easy fit wiper blades - set 26" allegedly for the Leon...the clip on the actual blade seems totally different to the original one and no matter how i try it wont click into place....im not paying for fitting out of prinicipal but wiper blades should be easy!!!

have you got a picture of the connector? Halfords introduced a lovely new fitting clip a while back and it is a bit strange, its hard to explain as well but it goes over the top and then slides in.

you stick the clip up say 90 degrees to the blade slide it down over the clip and then back up into the clip, you can then rotate the clip back down securing it in place

yeah its hard, I used to work in halfords thats the only reason i know :s

The amount of people that have difficulty fitting these is unbelievable and the amount of people coming back in saying they've been given the wrong blade, theres no where it'll fit blah blah blah, after fitting it in 5 seconds the look on their faces is priceless. It's just one of those things...once you know how its easy
