Griffith 500 wiper blades

[Jacqo le Jaq]

Going to replace mine for the winter. Has anyone fitted a shorter blade to the passenger side. Thanks

No, but I did fit frameless/aero blades which are much more effective than the OEM framed ones.

Thanks, those blades look good. I was concerned about how the original washer tubes might fit or perhaps the washer upgrade kit, I'm guessing you found a solution

What brand are these blades? Part number?

The wiper tubes remain in their place and still 'function' without changes.

As I was trying out the aero/frameless blades, I did not purchase big name blades but went for cheap ones from a well known online auction site. They work so much better than the original framed ones that I've not changed them again. As I also use Rain-X and rarely drive the Griff in the wet, the blades get little use.

Thanks, have checked those out. My wife has a set on her Tonka toy and the bend easily to the screen contour. Also the wiper arms on her vehicle seemed to have a stronger spring than on my Griff. Seems to be a good value kit including a pair of wiper blades with some improved washer jets, tubing and connectors. Gonna give them a try

Have fitted the 16" modern flat blades and they do fit better on the passenger side than the old style. The washer jet kit is simple to fit and gives a better spray from its 4 jets. It's also a much neater set up.
