Where to get a window wiper?

[Deany1986]

Hi all just got an exige yesterday and could do with a new window wiper, where's my best place to pick one up? Was in at halfrauds today and were none listed for lotus.

cheers, Kevin.

Just measure it and get one the same length.

Or take the old one into the shop with you.

Its a standard 24" wiper from halfrauds, take the old one with you and get the same clip.

I recently did what philthy suggests for the VX. Trouble is that Halfrauds no longer include all the various clips you used to get, so their wipers are made model specific by the clip. I couldn't make the clip supplied with the standard 24" wiper fit my car. My local auto parts place found me a suitable wiper and clip, fitted it for free and the guy was so embarrassed by the price that the bar-code brought up that he knocked a fiver off. I'll be going back to him.

I fitted the halfords one but wasnt very impressed - ended up with one of these instead - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/retro- ... 16714.html
It didnt come with the correct clip to fit the Exige but the one off the old wiper worked fine

There is a neat mod using the wiper of, I think, a 96 Renault Espace. It has a washer bar built in, and with a bit of tube the windscreen washer comes out as the blade sweeps.

I often use Partco across the road from Halfords et al, opposite the Hunting Lodge (assuming your in Killie), much more helpful chaps and usually cheaper.

Didnt you steal the last one off my car? 5 mins after Ross killed it

Just after I'd helped JJ rip the stereo out IIRC.

I would get a brand rather than Halfrauds own,.. from my experience, halfords wipers blades dont last as long as others.
