Windscreen Wipers

[dipsomaniac]

can anyone tell me which side wiper part no. F1124510 is? i thought it was the passenger side but the garage has fitted it to the drivers side and put the old drivers side wiper on the passenger side - they said they had to cut one of the wipers. don't know why they did this but it doesn't look right.

 

can someone also please confirm the length of each wiper?

I don`t know difference for windscreen MkI or MkII, but in my MkII wiper blades are 28" driver and passenger side as well.

Ive just bought these wipers off eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=021

 

I tried to fit them yesterday and they wont fit my MKII Galaxy, doing a bit of reasearch i have found out i need some sort of adapter for them to fit.

 

Anyone have any idea where i could get some from?

 

Any help would be great.

 

Kind regards, owlsman.

I thought the Bosch were the OEM wipers, what adaptor do you need the one's on my Galaxy basically just have a 'hole' in them for the pin off the wiper arm to fit in.

 

Perhaps your wipers were changed to a different type, so the OEM ones no longer fit?

I'll post some pics later, I think I need the retrofit quick clip? http://www.boschautoparts.co.uk/pcWipe6.asp?c=2&d=1

 

They wont fit to the arm its a totally different fitting.

 

If all fails, I'll have to go for the curved type, which i believe are the OEM version.

Thanks for your reply :wub:

Halford have booklets for the models hanging in their wiper section, could always go in and have a look. If to expensive at least you know what the option types are.

 

Wilkinsons, (wilco) and Boyes, do a cheap universal wiper set, that you can get refills for, cut refills to size.

Thats where I went first. But mi dad and his infinate wisdom :32: Said they were too expensive and to buy them online.

So I guess when the guy who sold me these, finally replies to my email, I can send these back and go down to Halfords and get them.

 

Thanks for your reply.
