Hi, looking for a flat blade, anyone tried one of these?

Where's the best place to get one.

Thanks

You know since I had these I have not found them to be any better, so it is really up to choice. they look a lot better and still do a good job but may only be worth the money if your old ones are rubbish..

There are places on eBay that will get you any number of any size that I used and had them next day think it was aeroparts.

NOTE: the Aygo's rear wiper will not fit a flat blade because of it's clip

Not true, I have fitted a 16" flat blade to my aygo, just remove any fastening bracket that it comes with and the clip is underneath, it snaps on perfectly...

excellent, I only had a look at my mates AYGO, I do not have one, and I was not pulling bits off his to look.

Jeff,

Rear flat blade looks very smart.

Where did you get it from ?

p.s. - I have a 107, however I notice that the rear blade no longer parks horizontally, but droops a bit.

Short of a shot of Viagra, is there any way to deal with this ?

I got it off eBay, click here

Is it the blade that droops or the wiper arm not parking itself at a perfect horizontal angle? If its the latter then I'm afraid that's a feature of the rear wiper motor in all Aygo/C1/107's :D

Thats who i used too :D thought it was Aero parts but it was ACE PARTS. :)

P.S. anyone wanting some, don't be afraid to ask for 3 blades rather than pairs! Although they sell them in pairs, they are happy to price up a set of 3 for you, i paid around £21 for 2x23 inch and 1x 18 inch, as i increased the size of my blades just enough to cover the widnscreen without fowling on anything else like each other. You don't need spares as when you come to change the blades next you just change the rubbers! They cost about £3 per pair :P

Can you check the sizes ?

Standard is 26" front ? Did you mean 28" front / 18" rear ?

Yes but you might have noticed mine were for the corolla not the AYGO :) you might get away with 28" front, but you have to see it it will foul with anything, like the rubbers on the edge of your window OR even check to see if the curvature of the window increases more than the bend in the wiper blade otherwise it wont do that bit of the window anyway.

Again same on the back, as I do not own an Aygo i cannot say what size you can fit, just be sure they will fit before you purchase :)

Ah, my bad.

Thanks for clarifying.

Will have a measure up.

My rear wiper blade drooped below horizontal and I fixed it by unclipping the plastic cover over the drive spindle, undo the nut holding the arm in place, remove the arm...this can be difficult as the arm can seize onto the spindle, but I used a bike sprocket puller to get it off without any trouble..then replace the arm in a slightly different position so it parks horizontally.Replace the nut and the cover and the jobs done, and looks much better than a drooping wiper!

Thanks for the tip incase I need it when fitting Neils
