DELETE ME Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETE ME Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
