SeanF Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi Mark, I bought the standard Rimmers offering fairly recently and they work very well. It looks like they will be tested in anger on Friday on the drive to Stratford! Cheers, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deggers Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi Marki, There was also a thread in the TR4/4A forum recently, which (towards the end) discusses upgrading to PIAA silicone blades. Link here : "More wiper woes" Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveB21 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 +1 for PIAA blades fitted to my 6 - got mine from Revington. Hopefully won't be needed for the IWE this weekend.... Cheers Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harlequin Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I went to the local petrol station and got the longest Bosch blade rubber that they had, the rubber was cut in two, then trimmed to suit and fitted to the TR blades. Worked a treat cheap, no postage and took less then an hour George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 After fitting "traditional" rubber blades that only lasted a few months before rotting and breaking up and never actually moved water off the screen when needed even when new I fitted these to my Tex original style wiper arms. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-28-Silicone-Wiper-Refills-Windscreen-Multi-Colours-Fits-most-cars-8mm-wide/360638508096?epid=1664264853&hash=item53f7baec40:m:mjw6pUrZ-CrixE0PQG4F-Pw:rk:1:pf:0 And they work beautifully and have lasted two years so far. Yes they are 28" long so cut to length and keep the waste bit to make a second blade from when the first ones wear out. Scroll down the web page and the retaining clip between blade and arm is pictured. Four blades for £6 what's not to like? I'm sure other silicone refill blades are about.
