D4XNY Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hey guys, wasnt sure where to put this, so hope i put in the right area....ish!! But if your looking tom upgrade your wiperblades cheaply to the new flat style Tescos is the way forward!! If you look in the car maintenance part, in Tesco Extra stores they sell packs of single wipers for about £3.68 each! So i got 3 blades (2 front, one rear) for £12! And no i have nothing to do with the company, just thought id give you all a heads up, bought mine yesterday and fitted them today in mins, and they look good, especially the rear one!

Zee Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 no, the BOSCH blades attach onto the main wiper arm and this is where the jets are attached to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUG Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 worth a bump though instead of setting up my own thread touching on the same thing just after opinions on the rear wiper blade thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 i reckon the accountants have been through Nissan with a fine tooth comb, the wiper arms on my '95 200sx were just starting to rust, it was on the original window winder motors and the car had 130,000 miles on the clock. My '04 Zed has a bad case of rust at the base of both wiper arms and i've had the O/S window winder motor replaced already. Still lovin' the Zed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
