If you have any please let me know the cost and location.thanks Everything you want is available on Ebay, spoon end arms brand new, don`t bother with the flat blades, go for the 8" flexible blades which are much better. There is a brand new door check strap assembly on there for loads less than Moss price, and currently there are a pair of second hand door latch assemblies but they finish in 11 hours, so don`t delay.

As Ralph suggests, the flexible blades are an improvement on the flat ones, and are readily available online from the likes of TR Shop, eBay, Moss Europe etc. A further tip would be to replace the rubber blades with cut lengths of universal silicon wiper blades. As several TR owners will testify (myself included), the quality of the rubber used for the repro TR blades has about as much structural integrity as a soggy pretzel. Their first call to action will result in a brief but exciting three minutes, gleefully watching your shiny new overpriced wipers attempting to do what they said they would do on the tin. Do not be fooled. They'll split faster than a celebrity marriage. Save yourself the blurred vision, roadside embarrassment and inevitable drenching, and remove them from the very start. Dismantle the new blades. Slide the arms over the universal replacements. Cinch down the metal retaining clips onto the hard plastic mount. Cut to length. Now you can motor about with abandon in the heaviest of downpours . . . whilst wondering how to stop the water pouring in through the seal between the windscreen and the hood.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Except….the silicon blade refills DO NOT FIT original Trico Rainbow blades. I tried. Ended up buying off eBay a set of Trico originals. Link to post Share on other sites
