Has anyone changed their front wiper blades? I just looked on eBay and found some for £28 - seems pricey and I'd imagine Fiat will charge at least as much. I've got my first MoT next week and I know I need replacements. Is there a standard Bosch etc. blade which will fit?

What length are ulysse wipers?

I would imagine halfords and bosch would do a set. If they will be like sei wipers the halfords ones are a bit cheaper than the bosch but do as good of a job, but in terms of comparison between ebay and halfords i cant say.

Maybe a trip down to halfords may be necessary

They are HUGE (26") and also have a kind of aerofoil, and a connection for the washer pipe - so maybe they are only obtainable from the dealer?
Maybe it's possible to change just the rubber itself?

Dont know about the washer bit, but the aerofoil bit sounds like the spoiler which some wipers have, usually on the passenger side wiper.

Wonder what stu and the others have to say?

I wonder :chin:

I would look down at Halfords, or a motor factors, and get some decent spec ones. Haven't had to replace ours yet.

Had a look in Halfords today. There is a row of -- in their parts book for the new Ulysse, apart from the rear blade (which I guess is a more standard type). The only 26" blade I could find at all was for a BMW 5-series - but in a pack with a shorter one as well, which must be the combination for that car.

So I think I'll plump for the ones on eBay - the rubber is split at the ends of mine, and although they still wipe OK, I'm guessing the MoT inspector wouldn't let them pass.

Interetsing.

Let the ulysse lot how it goes

There are a few guys on here who work at Halfrauds, I will get them on the case
