Fitting SP wipers from Amazon

Shouldn't be too tech ., but for the life of me has anyone fitted these with the array of adaptors? There is supposed to be a Video, haha!

Cheers Pat

put a thick towel on your windscreen under the wipers to protect the screen as the arm may spring back and damage screen.

remove old blades from thier arms - you may find that some of the plastic bits are broken anyway. you want to remove ALL plastic parts, clips etc from the ends of the arms so all you have left on the arm ends is metal. its possible that some plastic parts may break off but your going to bin all plastic parts anyway.

the new blades just clip on to the arm and are located by 2 pins which locate in holes in the metal arm.

and the only concern is that the pins on the new blade are not fully round (you can see they are actually semi circular in the amazon picture) it looks like they will not have not fully engaged with the holes in the arm. they do, however, and mine have been fine for prob 6 minths now.

So are you talking about this sort of arm and does this slider connection come off.

You have to remove the existing blade and then strip off all the plastic bits at the end of the arm so that, as said above, you are left with the bare wiper arm. The new blade just slips on to the end of the wiper arm.

Everything in your photo above needs to be removed. John

Ok , thank you for replying , perhaps this new blade which came with an adaptor on it is confusing things and needs to come off . I’ll send pic

The upshot is that what I ordered and what amazon sent was completely different. The company even said that the HQ Automotive blades were not fit for my vehicle , slightly raging and a video sent from Q&A on Amazon clearly shows what all you guys were trying to explain to me , someone fitting them to RR with the same blades!
