Hello all

Much as the standard wiper blades are "alright", I prefer the look of the flat aero type. However working out what blades will attach to the arm fittings is foxing me. The arms are the flat bar end type with a locating "pimple"; are these the standard x1/9 type?

Has anyone worked out what type of aero blades fit without modification?

Mine as currently fitted are 15" drivers side and 14" passenger. Is this correct or are they supposed to be both 15"?

Cheers

The wiper arms you have with the 'pimple' retainer are the standard X1/9 fitment but blades should be 15 inch both sides. I have never seen an aero blade with this type of fitting and even standard blades are getting harder to find.
 
Hello Iggy

many thanks for the 15" confirmation. Yes, I wondered about the arm however some of the boxes in halfords do have numerous fittings to accommodate different arms. On my sensible car though the aero type is secured by a hooked type arm.
