Wiper Blade

The Oily Bits S2 Specific Topics

I’m after a new wiper blade from Halfruads, can someone tell me which one to get, i.e. what model of car has the identical one?

I’m going to get a decent branded one as the JML wonder wiper (recommended on here) is too short for the S2, and the one that CN’s fitted was cr*p.

I bought a Bosch one from Halfords, and it’s excellent. I just took my existing blade in the shop with me, and compared lengths

It’s quite big, and they didn’t actually have any in stock the first time I tried.

Brendan,

Is yours straight or curved?

4

I don’t know. Do they do different ones? It adapts well to the curve of the screen anyway.

5

Don’t they have loads in the same length? Does it matter what car it’s for or do you just get one that fits the bracket?

6

I only saw two variations in the Bosch, standard and with spoiler. Obviously the spoiler is useless on our cars.

7

I don’t have the stock blade anymore, can someone measure one for me?

8

Just over 25" I think.

9

Just over 25" I think.

Nope, it’s 24" (just measured it)

10

Just over 25" I think.

Nope, it’s 24" (just measured it)

ah but was it cold

piaa silicone one here - demon-thieves never seem to have the curved 24 in stock but the straight 24 is a million times better than any rubber one you could put on - it only misses the outside edges.

Thought the JML Wonder wiper was also recommended for S2s? - looks only a fraction shorter than the standard blade (which is certainly useless!)

It doesn’t make it to the end of the metal frame…
