wiper blades for griff 500

[jodypress]

had a look in the griff manual and no mention, just need some new blades and went to halfords but of course they don't specify tvr, so what car are they from and are the closest or exact match. many thanks

Not 100% but thought they where TVR specific, well i think the Arms are at least.

Have you tried taking the old ones off and taking them into match up with some.

I think any 16" (?) blades are ok - I went for the Bosch ones. The ones with the spoiler are ok for the drivers side, but I found that the passenger side was not flexible enough with a spoiler, so went without

cheers all, will update when next at halfords.

I think some people bend the nearside one a bit to help it follow the screen - am I right?

I use the Bosch ones from Halfords but have generally found that 16inch is Ok for drivers side and 15inch for passenger side. But I will check just to be sure and let you know if different.

The arms are TVR specific and available from TVR franchised dealers at 9 quid a pair. The blades you can buy as a pair of 24" generic rubber blades on a carrier strip which you need to cut to length and fit as required.
