21" an you will have to do a small alteration. I have 20" on mine an they are just fine.

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Got 20" on my 172, No alterations needed, easy fit and they seem to do the job well so far.

 

[Steve 182]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Have you got them the right way round then??

 

[-J-]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Yep, All on correctly as per instructions that came with them (Cant see how you could fit them the wrong way?), Have been on the car for about 6 months now.

Maybe the 182 as a different wiper set up.

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

are they similar to the boosh areo wipers? so i should go for the 20" ones?

Nope same as yours but i had to adjust them when i got mine as the blade was the wrong way when fitted big bit at the bottom. They may have changed them since i got them or you were lucky an didnt have to faf around. Wasnt hard to do..

Although the pic is poo look on this:

http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=203-0183

I had to change the middle section around so that the larger bit of the blade was at the top. Does that make sense cant find any decent pics on the web. I may take a pic later if needs be.

are they better than standard wipers? just dont want to shell out big money on bosch wipers.

I would say probably yes, better when on motorways any way. As they are being pushed down. An i think they look better.

Before the blades:

Improvement i think:

How they should be:

I had to switch this block round 180 degrees to get the blades to be the right way round:

So they look like this:

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

[Steve 182]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Get 21" if you can i dont like the lil space it leaves in the middle when it rains. leaves a lil dirty gap, but thats just me being picky i suppose 20" do the job though.

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

Do you think 21 inch would look too big?

 

[T26TGT]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

[Curley]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

They do, i was looking at them the other day.

I just thought they'd look a bit out of place

 

[T26TGT]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

[Steve 182]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades

[StevenMc29]

Re: Tesco Flat Wiper Blades
