Rear Wiper blades

Hi All

 

I have had a search through the forum but dont see an answer to my particular question about the rear wiper. Off I went down to Halfords at lunctime to pick up a new blade. Buy it, get it out to the car and none of the adaptors in the box fit into my rear wiper arm? Am I being really stupid or is this something Toyota did to keep customers coming to them for replacements?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

They were Halfords own brand. If you got the Bosch ones then that might be the problem. I used to use Bosch (use PIAA ones now) but we tried fitting some to my gf's MR2 and they just wouldn't fit. Bosch no longer supply most of the fitting adapters like they used to. Anyway, took them back and got Halfords ones and they fit no problem. You might have the same problem.

I got the Bosch from Halfords, none of the adapters were a perfect replacement for the one on the car but one was very close - I fitted mine last June and it's still there :)

 

It judders a bit on the downstroke though.... my previous Toyota one did too, I guess this is normal?

 

I don't mind a cheaper blade on the back (cheaper than Toyota anyway) but I prefer to spend money on the front ones, I feel it's important to see where I'm going :)
