They are easy to fit. To get the right one, Halfords is a good corner. They can easily help u identify the correct type. They can fit but will charge u .though i have heard cases of where they let women off for free....talking about discrimination...hey what have the men done wrong? should be free for all sexes...0

What really knackers your wiper blades is grit and dirt. I find that just wiping along the blades weekly with a clean cloth pulls off all the grease and dirt. The grease off the road makes them perish.
I also use Bosch blades and any cheap glass cleaner to degrease the screen weekly. I fitted Bosch blades to my 4 work vans in March 2007 and they're all still going strong 80k miles later.0 -
sounds like Bosch wiper blades are very good, anybody known where is the cheapest place to buy them.
The ones from wilkinsons, do they come with spoiler?
thanks...0
