Did mine too. Excellent.

Whlist doing the change I noticed that on the driver's side wiper arm there is an aerofoil which has a leading edge rubber strip which had come loose across most of its length. This does not make contact with any part of the windscreen. I pulled it completely out but couldn't get it back in - story of my life!

Any idea what purpose the leading edge rubber strip has on the aerofoil and how to put the b****y thing back?

Nomad, mine was the same when I got it last year - pulled it off and chucked it in the bin Thumbs Up

Doesn't seem to have had any detrimental effect on the wipers Thumbs Up

My car is just over a week old from new and I have the 'thud' as the passenger one changes direction.
And the beginnings of a rubber smear.

Back to the dealers or simply fit 808's and save the hassle? Wot's that in old money
