SWF Replacement wiper blade rubber.

[*Sam*]

Hi all, I have a nice set of SWF wiper blades but the rubber has perished, does anyone have a good source of appropriate rubber blades ?
I have fitted some Halfords ones but they seem to stiff and miss major parts of the windscreen.

Cheers

Hi Sam

The ones we do are Bosch ones and top quality!

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Do you just do the rubber as I'm in the position of having good blades but the actual rubber bit is damaged?

Thanks

Hi

No sorry just the complete Bosch ones, but you could take them apart and use the rubbers if you were careful:

Hi Alex, I really would like to keep the SWF blade holder as they are mint condition, can you tell me, how many hinges do the Bosch ones have on them ?
Cheers

Sam, go to your local motor factors and they might be able to supply just the rubber.
Sadly the market changed a couple of years ago and obtaining just the rubbers is more difficult, but not impossible!
I have the same OG wipers, I think (from Ed), and used some blade lengths I had kicking about and just snipped them to length.
My dad just replaced the ones on his Morris in the same way - so I can ask him where his new supply is (unless he also had some hoarded away, too!) if you want?

Much wets George I nicked the blades from the halfords ones I had but they just don't work right.
When you swapped your were you able to use all of the metal rods with them.
It's a right shame because until the rubber let go the wipers were brilliant.

I think either EuroCarParts or GSF sell wiper blades rubber. I saw it on one of the websites once.. Worth a look, I guess it will be under accessories rather than requiring the vehicle spec.
