Front wipers

[Grant7]

Does anyone know what size the front wipers are meant to be on a 172? There are two 18 inch blades on there at the moment but all the ones on ebay say that there are two 21 inch blades on a 172. Just wondering what the correct size is.

21" is the correct size. If you get the flat blades though, 22" is apparently better.

21" as said. 22" might hang off your windscreen a bit, I've found 20" or 21" are the best for flats.

 

[Grant7]

Cheers for that. i'll probably order the 21" to be on the safe side.

which ones are you going for?

 

[jesus]

I'd recommend the Tesco ones

Ordered the flat blade aero wipers off ebay. only £11. Shud make the car look a bit better.

I am really pleased with mine. Took me 10 mins to fit the first one, then 10 seconds for the second

A lot cheaper than a Halfrauds set and work a da*n lot better!

Wipers came today. they fit perfect and look much better than the normal wipers that were on the car, they cover a lot more of the screen too because their the proper size.

 

[m4rkie23]

do they work on the screen properly i.e both blades are in complete contact with the screen at ALL times of the wipe?

if so, can you send me a linnk to where you got them from?

 

[Grant7]

The very end of the drivers side wiper is slightly off but that could be because they've been in a straight box so once they've been on the screen for a few days thay shud settle down. Their on ebay, £10.99 with free postage. Just type in clio wipers in the search.
