How to fit Trico Neoform wipers..

[Curley]

As title..

Does something need to be modified because the wipers sweep the wrong way to usual RHD cars?

do they not have symmetrical rubber?

 

[Curley]

Yeah but i cant get the hook into the wiper :S

 

[m4rkie23]

Don't you just turn the plastic hook around?

I have the same ones, just went straight on.. Unfortunately they really aint that good though..mine have been on a couple of months, and are very noisy now.. looking to replace them with something different soon.. maybe i just got a bad set!?

Curley you need to bend the hook slightly open. I used a large screwdriver and inserted it under the hook and used it to stretch the hook slightly. They then slotted on fine. The hooks are made from tough stuff so dont worry.

my slightly cheaper ones have lasted well, started squeaking now, but never reali did the job. dont bend at the same angle of the windscreen and therefore dont wipe the whole area.
would like some of these style, but ones that actually get good reviews.

Mine are shite, big gap in the middle where they've missed from day one. Started squeaking now after 2months.

Its not the hook, its the little plastic cover i find confusing. Im going to have another go after dinner.

The plastic bit that swivles in the middle of the blade with the lift up catch. Pop it out of the rest of the blade so you have the little block free.

Try and fit it to the hook without the wiper blade in the way and you will find its tight (at least mine was). Once i had stretched the wiper arms hook alittle with a screwdriver it made it alot easier to attach.

^ Totally agree! Were only a few quid each in the sale iirc.

Mine are s**te, big gap in the middle where they've missed from day one. Started squeaking now after 2months.

Did you get 20" ones? I bought the 22" so no gap and still fit perfectly on the screen with a bit of extra wiping around the top and sides too.

Quite impressed considering how cheap they were. Had these since July, no issues, no squeaking, still wipe completely clean with no smearing even after the unnecsessary additional wipe when using the washer jets.
