Thanks
Ok Itās the C1 adapter
There is a little tab on the adapter push it in and wiper will slide down the arm and just do the reverse when fitting the new one and it should click into place
Hope this helps
You sir, are a star! Thanks ever so much for your help, I really do appreciate it!!
Iāll fit it over the weekend and hopefully avoid the box kicking that moomin did haha!
Lol , itās really easy once you know how , box kicking and tool throwing is optional
Always happy to help
Ok, Iāve spent the best part of a hour trying to get the adapter to click into place (I told you I wasnāt very technical). Either Iām being remarkably stupid or Iāmā¦noā¦I am being remarkably stupid!
Right, so Iāve got my little C1 adapter that Iām meant to āclick into placeā on the arm first. First question, does this need to be clicked into place before attempting to attach it to the arm, or do I need to clip it to the arm first and then click it onto the blade?
Here is the adapter:
Here is me trying to slide it into place:
But it doesnāt āclickā. Itās just all wobbley and falls out. Am I being REALLY thick?!?
I can see that itās wrong from the pictures, but according to the guide, it slots in that way.
Can anyone give me some pointers before I go and kick more stuff in my garage please
PM sent
Ha ha just to save you the embarrassment!!!
Only joking, Iām still looking for the engine in the front of the car!
I canāt say what adapter it is , Iām not home till later , I tried most of them on there own until I found the one that fits , I then put it on the wiper blade first and the pushed both home on the arm .
Iām using the C1 fit the blade to the adapter and slot in as per my photoās
The adapter is the correct way up in your photoās
Yeah yeah guys, I know Iām being stupid
Iāve checked the other adapters and the C1 is the only one that fits in. However it doesnāt seem to want to āclickā into place.
Just to clarify, getting the old blade off took me all of about 30 seconds. Very easy. What I canāt seem to get is how and where the adapter connects to the arm. I can see how the adapter clicks into the back of the wiper blade, but itās getting the adapter in place on the arm thatās causing me grief.
Feel a complete idiot, but I canāt work it out.
A few more photos (of me being an idiot):
Iāve clipped the C1 adapter to the blade itself. What I canāt seem to do is get the hook of the arm to clip into it.
Check PM again
Iāve already sent this to Marcus, but thought Iād post here as well.
I donāt think the C1 adapter I have is quite right (or maybe itās just me thatās got it wrongā¦).

Hmm according to this link the adapter is C3:

Maybe time I had another goā¦
IāVE DONE IT!!!
Massive thanks to Marcus. It appears 2010 Exiges need the C3 adapter rather than C1. Once I had that worked out, it took me less than a minute to fit.
Now Iām going to crack open a bottle of red haha! Happy days
Yay!! get in ! have to say i did call my wiper blade some not nice names Lol
For anyone who is looking to buy the PIAA wiper blade mentioned above, I thought Demon Tweaks were taking the P*ss with the ĆÆĀæĀ½8.75 standard delivery charge so Ive ordered the same blade, slighty cheaper and with free delivery from here:
