Wiper Blades

[Jock Fran]

Had to replace the Wiper Blades on my car - they were squeeky and pretty worn.

Looked up the sizes and got some bargain ones from Wilkinson's for £1.25 each! :D

But....

Front 2 (22" and 18") went on fine, except for the fact I only had one of the correct mounting clip things in the three packs from Wilko's, but I just used the one that came off the old one and it popped on fine.

The rear however was completely the wrong size, the pack (and some online Wiper Blades place I checked) reckoned the rear was 20". But it is way way smaller. It also doesn't seem to have any attachment clip, it just clips on to the rear wiper arm directly with the little cylindrical bit in the blade. The little cylindrical bit was a lot fatter on the one currently on the car, so even if the wiper I bought was the right size it wouldn't have gone on.

So, what size is the rear wiper blade supposed to be? And where to people get 'em from?

Cheers.
