Just read this though -

" Please note these wiper blades cannot be retro-fitted so the blades on your car must already be of this type in order for them to fit correctly.
Legal and Easy to Fit "

Does that mean that unless you already have this kind of wiper you won't be able to fit them too your car??????

 

[Justin]

how much are they?

 

[KDF]

What size is mk2 clio ?

Looks like £40 a pair

 

[Matteh]

my brother bought a flat wiper for his mk4 golf the other day

the whole wiper arm and blade only cost £17!

Nice one mate, I just read the bottom of that first link and it wasn't clear that you'd be able to retro fit these to a Clio!!

The search helps though.

does the clio 172 really have 21" either side

21'' / Classic Fusion Flat Blade £ 14.00 each or

926 (21"/21") £ 40.00 (per pair


that doesnt add up to me

 

[philmots]

i might get some of these, as think the std ones sit a bit too proud of the windscreen! and also be good as winter comes etc.

so do i need the classic fusion 21" at 14 quid each, thats not bad at all

 

[DaveJwxm]

any pics of them on peeps cars??

 

[philmots]

if you buy them as a pair they are 40 quid for 2 21" ones, if u buy them individually it works out at 28 quid for the pair... strange

 

[RacerStu]

Here they are on my Clio They clean the windscreen well good and look a lot smarter IMO

 

[DaveJwxm]

i like them^^^, the link to the website doesnt work for me tho

 

[Middo]

i do think they look quite neat. however when valeo ones are £6 for a pair, its a bit much to pay

 

[philmots]

those look not quite long enough to me, what size are they?

 

[RacerStu]

They are the same size as the standard ones. 21" each side

 

[Tom]

Nice, i need some new ones.

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

I have the Fusion ones too, £14 each blade. Seem to work pretty well with pressure applied right to the end of the blade. Also dont get any water drips cought in the framework like you do in normal ones which then flies up the screen in the wind.

Look quite neat on the front too.

Reason for that is Valeo blades are s**t, lol. Better off replacing them with bosch ones if you are replacing with the conventional type of blade IMO.

 

[Middo]

had the bosch super + and they fell to bits. valeo are cheap and cheerful and i find that as long as i clean the screen properly when i wash the car they're perfectly adequately.

 

[Turkish]

I've had no problem with the Bosch blades fitted on the 182 or my 172 but when the dealer replaced my Bosch blades with Valeo ones on my 24k service on the 172 they never used to clear as well lasted half as long and looked cheap and nasty. Looks like we both had different experiences lol.

 

[Middo]

they'll do until i crash in the rain

in all honesty, i was tempted by these flat blades last time - so as soon as im feeling flush i'll probably give them a try and throw my cheap and nasty ones away

 

[jooliona]

i like them^^^, the link to the website doesnt work for me tho

do u use firefox? if so try the link in IE

i'm not really liking the valeo ones on just now, think i'm gonna splash out on these when the rains come

 

[Rhino172]

thinking about it...what about the rear wiper? anyone know what size it is on a mk1?!?! or even if these would work as a rear wiper? don't see any mention of rear ones on the site...

 

[jooliona]

just put in order for these gonna chop up one of my old front ones and try to fit it onto the back... failing that i guess its a trip to Renault!

 

[SimonV6]

My Mk3 clio has flat wiper blades as std, don't reckon to much to them? they seem to clean worse than the normal ones on my V6, not sure why, they just seem to have far less pressure against the window? maybe I have a duff pair, not sure, but not imprssed so far?

[jooliona]

maybe they're just old?

does anyone know how long these are supposed to last btw... at this price i'd hope to get at least a year out of them!

 

[RacerStu]

Ive had mine about 6 months and they are still like new

 

[jooliona]

does the clio 172 really have 21" either side

21'' / Classic Fusion Flat Blade £ 14.00 each or

926 (21"/21") £ 40.00 (per pair


that doesnt add up to me

the "926" pair arent the retrofit/universal ones tho, i think they have the fancy connector on them. if u do a vehicle search for the clio the pair doesnt come up, u have to order 2 @ £14 (which most ppl will probably do anyway as its much cheaper!!)

altho i've not had a confirmation email yet so am wondering if my order went thru :S

 

[OLLZIE]

These fusion one look the biz. I might get these to be honest. I always get marks on my windscreen when its pissing down and it pisss me off.

 

[SimonV6]

maybe they're just old?

My Mk3 clio is only 3 months old lol

still don't think they wipe as good as my old ones style used to?
they are damn noisey too

My mate has these flat wipers on his mk5 Golf TDi, and tbh, I thought they were 10 times better than conventional wipers. They're quiet, and they work like a pair of squeegees (sp?). I'll definitely be ordering a pair when the time comes for replacement.
