Fitted mine on the weekend...for once I actually wanted it to rain!

Unfortunately it didn't happen when I was driving, but when the car was parked up and there was a light shower, the water beaded beautifully down the windscreen.

Good deal, I didn't think of that. In the end I just bought OEM from my local dealer for £20!

PIAA - HOW TO FIND US

It was on my door step all the time.

Thanks

This reminds me that I need new wipers.

So is it 18" for drivers side, and 19" for passenger?

PIAA WIPERS

Well I got 19" both sides, which is fine. Sporza driver side, straight passenger side. However, given the chance again I'd probably go for curved passenger side, as the end of the wiper doesn't quite sit flush with the screen.

My recommendation (for any brand of wipers) is 18" straight driver's side (with spoiler, if available), and 19" curved for the passenger's side, as this is what the OEM ones are and they work well.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs
