Ventoux Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 1990 model. Could anybody tell me if I can buy just the rubbers? I cannot get the blade frames off, but I managed to slide one of the rubbers out easily. I'm assuming there are different rubber profile types that slide in to different frames. I'm in France now so it would not be possible to visit any UK shops, and the French shops all have the complete frame only for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob b Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think you'll find that the rubbers are universal. How about trying one of those huge hypermarkets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry1956 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 hi, yes you can just swap the rubber part, I picked up a set of cheap wipers that fit all makes ( you just cut to size ) in a pound shop, its an easy job. and please note if you do treval around in other EU countries have a look at the car part sections in the supermarkets, from time to time you can pick up some real good deals on wipers etc. terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventoux Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ok thanks for those replies, I'll investigate ... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Complete 28 inch replacement blades were so cheap from this lot so I have just fitted a set to our Tardis. Just measure up the length of the blade you require and give them a phone. c.

Brambles Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have found a lot of the replacement rubbers only come with plastic mouded strengthner and I prefer to use existng stainless steel ones, so buy cheap blades longer than I need and remove the rubbers. Not much use to you Ventoux I know, but I buy in Kaufland, Germany. K-classic - really good value and rubbers seems better than I have had on other cheap blades.

747 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 When I ran a Renault car, I found that the wiper blades lasted no time at all and were expensive to replace. I bought a boxed kit with rubbers and metal strengtheners from a local accessory shop instead. You just cut both to size and fit, using the old ones as templates. I found that these rubbers lasted longer than anything else I had ever bought previously. This winter has wrecked the blades on both our cars and I intend to get another boxed set.
