Can the aerofoil be unclipped and swapped around?

aerofoil on a new style aero ? Not seen that.

Have you got any pictures or link ?


No sorry I meant the aero style wipers, I wonder how many people have the wrong LHD wipers on their RHD cars?

First thing I looked at and the bit that attaches to the wiper arm is handed/shaped to only fit the rubber one way as the LHD wipers sweep the other way.

Link to the ebay ones I received, look closely at the arm fixing system and you will see they are LHD fit only.
Like I said above they look/feel real nice and I was quite pleased especially for 7.10gbp

has anyone noticed that

when u first turn ur wipers on for the first few secs they are really slow

then all of a sudden speed up

once there going its fine

just the first few seconds are extremely slow

maybe it's just mine , or the motor could be on its way out

Lynall, are you sure there's a such thing as left hand drive wipers? I'll gladly bow to your greater wiper knowledge but I'm struggling to see how a wiper blade can be handed.

Nice one Beno, like I said, it always surprises me that people pay such big money for wipers when the cheapos seem to perform perfectly. Thumbs Up
Never had a problem with them.

It's not quite April fools day yet.

I think I know what he means and I think I noticed LHD printed on the side of a packet forsale.

I think it will only make a difference on a motorway. I don't think having LHD ones will have a negative effect, only lack the benefit that could be gained.
