The standard replacement wipers for my LS has been quoted as $90 each side. Clearly this is not acceptable for a consumable item so I let the local dealer replace the rubber blades but as we all know this only lasts a week or so before they start chattering again.
Anyhoo I purchased Ryco TB450 and TB560 which are aftermarket for the previous model Focus. to get them to fit you simply chuck out the bag of clips and brackets and drill out the holes to fit over the wiper arm posts. then off to bunnings to buy C clips. If you don't want to use C clips you can stuff a piece of plastic tubing over the post - this is to stop the wiper from working it's way off the arm. Mine is working fine and all I need to do now is replace the rubber blade for $10. complications:- wind noise is increased slightly and the drivers side is slightly shorter so doesnt sweep to the top of the screen. Enjoy Steve |
