Travelling Washers / Wipers "upgrade"

[davido140]

I ordered some of these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-WASH-WIPER-BLADE-UPGRADE...

They are great, cheap as chips, easy enough to fit, much neater than the standard tube setup and they were delivered within 24 hours!

nice!

They are available for other models than the tuscan too.

Thats a hell of a lot cheaper than I paid for the Leven upgrade and you get enough rubber hose too!

I was looking at these the other day, thinking about purchasing some but wasn't sure. Might go ahead now after this positive feedback..

I made an upgrade myself, have a look and tell me what you think.

Looks quite neat - how did you do it?

I was looking at the E-bay upgrade but plumped for some of the flat blades instead (those flexi rubber ones) as I'm hoping they'll hug the glass better anf lift less. Will let you know when they arrive.

I was walking past a Mercedes sprinter van, i don't know what they are named in the UK, and saw these attached to the wiper blades. I thought these might look neat on the Griffith, certainly better than the standard hoses, and they do (at least in my humble opinion). They work perfectly, and they clip on the existing wiper arms. You might be able to get them from breakers, or a friend with a Mercedes van of that type. The flexible blades you bought, could you post the make and type, i have been thinking of getting them for some time.

I've got a pair on mine; the plastic water reservoir super-glued onto the wiper is a bit cheap, but all in all they're better than the OEM blades - but you'll need to buy some plastic ties to fit the hoses to the blades.

Happy with mine, just a bit fussy.
