matt13b Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Has anyone swapped their wiper blades and arms for those new simple style type blade and arm assembly? I think it's bosch who make them..

bigkevracer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yep, I've got them. Bought them from some speciality wiper web site in the UK. Worth every cent. Think I got both fronts for about $40 delivered from the UK, when similar blades were $50-60 EACH in Australia.

matt13b Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Oh that's good news. Yeah I put them on all my cars and they cool. Minimalist and effective. You don't happen to have the link to that UK site or a part code do you?

bigkevracer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Pretty sure this was the place: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/ No part number, I measured the stock blades and bought matching sized ones. I think one was a Mini and one was a Citroen something...

bigkevracer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I spent ages trying to work it out. Realised rather than looking for other Nissan's they matched up to, it was easier to use the tape measure. End result is perfect, just wished I'd done the rear at the same time.

bigkevracer Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 ok Josh's comment got me interested, so I dug through my email and found the invoice. Bosch AR18U - 9.24 pounds Bosch AR21U - 10.15 pounds 8.10 pounds delivery, 27.49 total, so about $40 at today's conversion rate. The 8.10 works out to $11.82 AUD delivery. To me, thats about what I'd pay locally for delivery, so no big deal.

scotty nm35 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Nope, I remember it required modification to fit too. It still doesn't wipe the top of the rear window.

NYTSKY Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I needed wipers for my daily, thought I'd try out these aero type blades.
