Rear Wiper Blades

[tsport_stu]

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can get a new rear wiper blade for my TS?

Halfords don't do one and with their 'cut to fit' kit the plastic bit is to wide for the wiper arm grips.. :ffs:

Have just found: Ebay - sounds right but don't want to buy the wrong thing (again)..

the whole arm needs replacing (who was the stupid bugger that invented that) that's why you won't find single Wiper Blades for the rear, but you can buy normal blades and use them.

anyway I just used one of my front wipers when I changed them and cut it to length, bit fiddly to get the old one off and the new one on but it's cheaper than buying the whole arm

The rear rubber can be replaced from Toyota, only costs a couple of quid.

Hi everyone.

New T-sport owner here, just bought a 2001 Black t-sport from inchcape, the rear wiper is cracked though! I've got inchcape sending me a new one under warrenty, anyone know how easy it is to install them? or should i take it to a garage? Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Which bit - is it the wiper itself or the arm that attaches to the car?

If its the wiper it just unclips.. if its the entire arm it'll need unbolting...

Its the arm that attaches to the car. The plastic part is cracked, How hard is it to unbolt?

Theres a little plastic cover just where the arm joins the back door - pull it up - its hindged.

Then its a case of a socket or spanner to loosen the bolt thats now exposed (if its anything like mine it'll be slightly rusty so make sure you get a good fitting socket/spanner - wd40 might be needed to get it started)

Bolt off - swap arm - bolt back on and replace plastic cap/cover

Thanks Clarky,

I'll give that a try mate.
