A few bits required

[Don1]

If anyone could help... I'm having difficulty finding a replacement grill (and surrounding rubbers) for my 95 Chim, and a set of the wipers (inc washing fitting).

I've had a look through clever Trevor, but can't see anything immediately...

Ta!

Leven for wipers and breakers most likely for grill/rubber but sure there are other options.

Don,

I changed to these wipers off ebay last month and they work very well, plus £20, so cheaper than Leven

Cheers Steve.

FFG, tried Douglas Valley etc for the grill... but I hadn't though about Leven. Cheers - will go and investigate.

How does the wash bit attach onto the wiper blades? Do I need to replace this each time the blades wear out, or are they portable to the next set of blades?

[STEV8E]

The jets are moulded on, you just fit the tubing (supplied in the kit), so yes it would all get replaced next time.

But as I said, only £20, so good value I reckon, new blades alone cannot be much cheaper.

Just a thought re the wipers but could you get away with just replacing the rubbers?

Don - not exactly what you specified but I found this place and got some of the newer style sprung blades a few months ago for my Chimaera

They can do all different lengths with a retro fitting and they work much better than the originals - granted though they do not do the special curvature on the LH blade which I believe the Leven set will.

I have a spare grill which you are welcome to btw - could do with a lick of paint to smarten it up and like most it has a couple of larger holes in it to accommodate the number plate fixings but it's yours for nothing if you want it. let me know - I can send a pic if you want to judge better the condition. note - doesn't include the rubber surround I am afraid

Still missing the grill - can anyone lend me one to trace around to get the dimensions to make my own?

(Seems Chims have a tendancy to visit the scenery nose-on)

Heating the rubber with a hairdryer, to make it more flexible was a tip I got...
