Windscreen wipers

[DELETE ME]

I need some new wiper blades and looked on the forum for somewhere to purchase them and a lot of the links are dead and don't work.

So my question is where is the best place to get wiper blades or refills.

I have 8" wiper blades and I believe the fitting is spoon fitting but cant seem to get them off.

Any advise/help appreciated

you can cut down normal size rubber wiper blades and make them fit, recycle the best bit from your old tin top wiper blade.. that's what I did

Try here (Tex Automotive) - got mine from these people, great service and price not bad: Wipers

For blade refills, don't buy the standard ones. Just do the adaption so that aftermarket universal refills fit.

The universals are much cheaper, and available everywhere. Westfields have a habit of shredding the wiper rubbers every so often, makes life much easier if you can just dive into a Halfords etc to replace them.

The mod only takes a couple of minutes per wiper arm, and is litterally just a case of filing one end of each arm down a little with a small file, so that the bayonet clips will slot home.

Interestingly, since swapping to plain old Halfords universal refills I've also found they've lasted way longer than Tex originals.

Thanks for the replies and I think the universal method is the way to go. 

Can anyone tell me what type of wiper blades I have and how to remove them?
