I did search on PH forum for this but couldn't find halfords part number for the flat backless blades.

Does anyone know the part number or what model of car would i look for to cover noble?

If we get the answer then it should go on the parts list.

Cheers Justin, obviously didn't check hard enough. I'll go and see if Halfords has them and get the part number added to the list.

Went to Halfords, didn't have any for the IS so may just have to order them online. Alex said 19" and 20".

I have the aero style fitted and they have damaged the windscreen. for some reason it looks like the arm puts too much pressure on the blade and it deforms when it moves at the very tip.

yikes But isn't it all rubber - so how does it damage the glass?

The metal 'spring' backing is very close to the window on these. Greg was having a very similar issue with his that as they changed direction the rubber was getting bent so much by the force that it was scraping on the window.

Thats right, with the change of direction the rubber collapses and allows the hard plastic wiper end to hit the screen. Thought i could adjust it out by moving the wiper on the motor spline but it made no difference. might buy a smaller one for the drivers side and see if it helps.
