Realised that ages ago when we had the frosty morning and I'd left the wipers set to 'auto' they ripped the blade slightly when trying to move.
So, I'm presuming I can't just nip to Halfords to pick a new set up? where's best to get them without incurring the obligatory GTR tax?

Hahaha you've beat me to it. I need to change mine aswell

I haven't needed to change the Gtr wipers yet but I have put PIAA Si-tech ?? on a few cars now, I've used the ordinary PIAA silicones for years and that ones are even better

Hi,
Do they make full contact with the screen on the far left hand side?

Thanks Rich

That's the problem I had with them Rich, there was a gap at the end of the blade which caused a slapping sound if the screen wasn't VERY wet.

 

[Ja5on]

full contact, its just an insert for the standard covers

 

[Paul_59]

Or go to local Tesco buy standard flat blade refills which fit standard arms for about £5 per side

No GTR tax included

Shame to hear that but thanks for the heads-up - just went out and ordered PIAA replacements for the GTR & Evo :thumbsup:

I had service 2 weeks back, my blades were worn. They said new ones would be a whopping 127 euro's.

I asked him if that was for the pair or just per blade, insinuating that I could get blown twice for that price, even in Europe. Maybe just the once by a real nice one.

So if anyone got a ebay link or other order item number. I've seen 2 old threads about this as well, but they were a bit old.

Mine were £5 each from Tesco. They even look the same as OEM.
I did a thread on that at the time I think.
