Default Re: Wiper blades

Hi manchu, I've bought and fitted Tridon rubber wiper refills from SCA. I used the Mid Back Tapered Metal 7.5mm, part number MRT28-2 (a 2-pack of 28" long wipers).

I selected these as they had the closest profile I could see to the OEM rubber, crucially the top/back mounting channel seems to be spot on so they fit in the beams nicely. Unfortunately you also pay for the metal strips and clamps that you won't be using, but none of the cheaper plastic refills looked the right shape when I compared them.

They seem a little softer (thinner?) than the OEM rubbers, so there's more deformation in the resting position against the windshield, but performance has been fine.
