Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit On CTR

[NickCTR]

So just ease the end cap off, trim a bit off, then superglue the cap back on? That should do the trick?

I only need to trim the n/s end, the wipers don't meet in the middle.

Cheers.

yes but trim both ends to keep the wiper the same and balanced, I would not use super glue as it melts rubber/plastic.

 

[NickCTR]

Good point about the superglue. Where would I get silicone from? How long to dry?

B&Q and will take 24hrs to be 100%, I fitted mine back on the car about a hour later but it was a nice sunny day.

i did this mod and didnt need to glue or silicone the caps back on.
i just cut 5mm off of the top fin after trimming the ends and the cap fits back on tight. no chance they will fall off.

Nick, link me to the eBay blades I needs to buy? I don't know what inches to buy. Wallet is open etc

Need the rear too.

These, as suggested on the previous page. http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/product-detail.php?Make=&Model=&Year=&Position=4&ID=42

They be them. Ebay, choose cheapest that comes with the plastic arm.

Just put those on this lunch time. Didn't need to cut them. Really nice compared the the standard. Look a lot nicer on the actual car as well.

any links to ones for the EP3 that you DON'T need to cut?

I had these for a while but broke the clip that fits to the wiper arm on the drivers side when I turned the blade 90 degrees (or more so it would seem) when cleaning the blade. It snapped with surprisingly little force.

Back on OEM blades from Honda @ £17 which clean better IMO.

im now not too sure if i want the flat blades now, if people are complaining about them

 

[ChrisT]

They are good blades and i did not have to cut mine. They wont move as much as the standard ones when off the windscreen, but just lifting them up and running over the blade to clean them wont damage them.

Figured that out the hard way it would seem.

What worries me is that if the clip snapped so easily, what are they going to be doing when the wind is blowing over them at 100+.

The Aeros look good without question but OEMs with the spoiler work just as well IMO.

My OEM wipers are working fine at the moment but the rear is poor what size do you need on the back?
