Wipers
Just tried two sets of wipers from Halfords and the don't fit the straight wiper arm on the Mk1, any suggestions?
Re: Wipers
Yep, go back to Halfords and pickup the Jap car wiper blade converter
You then clip this to the wiper blades and the converter then attaches to the arm.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Wipers
Just one more query, Halfords imputted my index number which resulted in a 20" wiper for the driver and a 14" for the passenger.
Seems a little short for the passenger side folks?

Re: Wipers
That's definitely wrong

IIRC it should be 18" for both wipers.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: Wipers
thats what I did.
I got a bosch set off ebay and they supplied the connverter but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how it fitted.
Even a post here still left me confused.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

went to Toyota, picked up a set with the 2 screw holes for
£15, job done.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

btw, on the drivers side, the aerofoil is held on by the same two screws as the blade, so that transfers easily too

Unless I'm very much mistaken.

Re: Wipers
There is a part from one of the newer Toyotas which is a direct replacement on an MR2 and tbh they're so cheap it's not even worth mucking about with Halfords ones:

£4.21 plus VAT each for complete blade assemblies which screw on to the arms as Toyota intended.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
