Hi all,

After 25000 miles my rear wiper has had it so I've bought a flat bar replacement arm from ebay which looks neat but is useless as I can't seem to fit it! I know this may sound daft but how do I get the old one off I can't seem to find a removable cover to expose a nut or anything to remove it...

Any ideas?

On a seperate note the new Philips H7 Extreme bulbs are brilliant I'm glad I replaced those as well!!

Having discovered there is a nut under a plastic cover to remove the wiper I now realiese this was a ridiculous question I'm not stupid honest!!

I'm just glad that the forum members where all so helpful on this occasion  At work

I'll post a pic of the flat blade arm when fitted by the way.

Nothing really I thought seeing as I was changing anyway as mine's worn out I'd try the flat bar type, I'm hoping it will perform a little better as well, although in my experience having owned estate cars in the past the rear wipers seem to wear out quickly with a lot of motorway driving in the grime! Have you changed yours as I see you've done a big mileage?

I think the FL2 rear wiper does so many dry wipes before the water comes out the washer jets when cleaning them, it wears out a lot quicker than normal  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
