I have a set of the NOS SWF wiper arms which were being sold recently, but the rubber lasts about two seconds. Does anyone know which modern rubber fits these wiper blades?

On their third swipe. I got the MOT guy to replace it, but I have a feeling they replaced the wrong one. Can't confirm it happened to two rubbers.
 
My ones lasted no more than 50miles, they were however for that 50miles excellent
 
I had only one go, replaced the rubber with one of the ones I took off :lol:

They are meant to be NOS so disintegrating after being stored for ages is fine with me.
 
Its common, buying nos wipers you are just paying for the silver metalwork really.

Halfords etc sell wiper blade refills cheap enough.
 
Yep I have no issue neither was I surprised when they failed, I tried some refills but the don't flex enough to follow the contour of the windscreen.
I will try again with some others.
 
I used the rubber portion from a Chevrolet (2008) Impala and cut it off same length as original and then used original metal bits to put it back in. Took me a minute to figure out that there is a left side and right side if I wanted them to sit flush on glass.
 
For anyone looking for blades for the SWF, have found that halfords sell a pair that fits, it's there own brand is listed as for the t2.
They cost about £7.
