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

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.

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! |
