JiP Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has the same issues with KE30 windscreen wipers?? I've never been successful with fitting wipers to my KE30. The new wiper blades state they are for 6mm and 8mm wiper arms. I find it slips off the 6mm but isn't wide enough for the 8mm. Are the wipers 7mm standard?? I've never changed the wiper blades on any of my other cars yet so I can' tell if its just this car. Anyway I just ended up pinching the grippy parts just so they would hold onto the 6mm part. I still wanna know if anyone knows. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammo[RL] Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anyway I just ended up pinching the grippy parts just so they would hold onto the 6mm part. Thats what i did too! The original wipers had a metal strip the the rubber wiper went in, and that slid into the 'grippy part'. Other then getting a new rubber wiper, and sliding it into the old metal strip, i'd say that what you've done is the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 you need to use 7mm metal back wipers not hugely common but are a good fit. bitch to trim to length properly to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I used tin snips to cut them to size so i don't think it:d be much harder to trim them. So where would one find 7mm metal blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
