Replacement Windshield Wiper Blades

Does any one know of readily available replacement aftermarket windshield wipers blades which fit MINI well?

I'd get the OEM ones but the blades just ripped, the dealers 2 hours away and I'm afraid if if it rains I'll scatch the windshield if i turn on the wipers.

I was able to find some inserts at the local auto parts house. You will need the "narrow" inserts.

Should be no problem at all.

Past week I put on a cheap pair of ANCO (full sets, not inserts) until I can get the MINI ones replaced under warranty. Cost me about $10, I'll pull them off next week when I'm at MoPeabody.

ANCO KWIK CONNECT

Look good. Pretty trick as well. I want a set with black frames and red blades. That'll look good on my Works.

E-mailed them to see if they have a UK distributer.

It was acceptable in the 80's
