Review on EURO BLADES Windshield Wiper Blades 2002 2008 by Mark Loebis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The clips were slightly different and failed to install. Used old wipers with new ones.

Wipes well packaged - no damage. The wipers themselves are excellent and don't leave streaks like some people do. I greased the hinge on the wiper arm (where the wiper attaches to the arm) to ensure there is no binding. Unfortunately, the clips look identical to the originals until you look a little closer at the bottom where the plastic/metal sliding mechanism is. The slide mechanism retaining spring is slightly different and as a result I was unable to use the new clips on either side. Without a wiper on the lever, the bolt could engage with a lot of force. Using the wiper on the lever, the shutter could not be moved to its original position. I oiled it, bent it a little, and opened the latch a bit, but couldn't get it to work. Luckily I kept and used the old latch mechanism. Wrestling with these clips is enough to bore anyone!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Security
