Hi all

Extremely boring question. I remember reading that some people had done away with the passenger side wiper arm and just had the drivers side with a longer blade.

What size wiper blade should i go for?

I have for rid of passenger wiper.
Standard blade is fine for drivers side. Plus looks so much cooler with one.

Only caveat - I don't use mine in the rain so could have no wipers!!

I did it and used the frameless type blade and used either a 21" or 22". Basically as big as possible before it over hangs the bottom edge of the screen

Told you Jules!!

Although, the slightly smaller blade looks even cooler. And doesn't really matter if the passenger can't see in the rain!

Btw guys, will I fail the MOT with only one, standard size?

I always have my garage the second wiper in case but they never had to fit it.

I thought the thread about Noble AGM was sorting that out?

What about the 4 day Easter weekend. I'll be around in Hampshire and the pub i mentioned (Fishhouse in Chilgrove) would be nice if it was a sunny day, and very very good roads.
