Cheap window wipers
I run a 2003 Toyota Avensis and the window wiper blade sizes are in odd inches,eg 15,19 21" etc and cost between 15 and twenty pounds for the complete unit from Mr Toyota.
Get you !!!! down Wilkinsons and buy the next size up from the one you require for £1.50,pull the rubber bit out and chuck the rest,then cut the blade to the required length(using the old one as a template).Thread the metal guide strips on,then relocate in the original cartridge.
Hey presto,you now have a wiper as good as a main dealer complete unit for £1.50 plus you have £13.50 change to spend down the pub!
