I need some advice as to how to remove the front wiper blades , the manual is useless , it doesn't correspond to the fittings I have on the wiper blades.
Grande Punto 1.3 multijet 75 2006.

Thanks:bang:
 
Hi Jane I'll beat Thomas to it :p


nice and easy

Lift the wiper off the screen all the way till it stays up.....


look for the 2 serrated tabs (one at the top and one at the bottom of the wiper mount or each side (depending on how you look at it)

press these two tabs together and fold upwards and away then pull up to remove the top clip......

a video paints a million words however.....

take a min or 2 to load up in media player if that doesn't work click the blue text which says

This is a video, click on the thumbnail to download

and save it to your pc then play it that way !


just try to put the wiper down a bit more carefully than i did (one handed)

Good Post should be a Sticky IMO (y)
 
Could you put subtitles up Andy, can't understand the accent. :ROFLMAO:

Seriously, cracking vid grommit:worship:. No reason why even my kids couldn't do it without me helping. (It's embarrassing being a crippled ex engineer with 2 kids that can do feck-all! :eek: Think I'll get a DNA test done ;))
 
Not hard after the day I've had, I'm now moving house in 21 days:spin:

Video is showing off though:p

Nice work(y)

Good luck with the Move just think you can be unpacking boxes whilst all the s#1t is on TV over christmas (y)


The video makes it easier to explain as they say a picture paints a thousand words so a Video must paint a million ;)
 
Thanks all who replied. Old wiper blades removed , piece of cake when you know how! , and new ones applied. I got into more trouble trying to fix on a universal blade , trying to save money , and had to go to the dealer for the correct blades anyway!! Anyway , problem solved.Thanks again.
Jane.:)
 
Silly question, but I've looked all over and can't find either the answer, or my tape measure...

What size are standard GP wiper blades? I've seen some *ahem* pink blades that I'd like (please - no slating, I'm only thinking about them at this point :)), but have no idea what size I'd need... lol

That vid btw Andy is fab - I'dve spent ages looking at the blade trying to find the right little button!!

are you sure the pink blades (snigger :p ) have the correct fitting for a Grande punto? it uses a specific fitting unique to the GP no universal blades i have seen will fit...

get a tape measure and measure them (when they are laid flat on the windscreen)
 
@Andy

Just seen your other posting on wiper blades so will be getting from shop4parts when the time comes to replace them.

If the blades currently on the car are the originals then they are coming up to 12 months old.

Cheers mate (y)

Im off to the airport now, should be tucked up in bed lol
 
Ah, may have to check that then... bugger



Yeah - like I say, my tape measure is currently MIA - hence the ask :p

the Drivers side is 26" (660mm)

passenger side is 15 1/2" (390mm)
 
I got Valeo blades from my local Motor factor for £22.50. They seem great compared to the set I had on for 2 years. Happy Bunny, but if I had the fore-thought Shop 4 Parts would have been cheaper.
