SWF REAR WIPER BLADE

[sebrussellsmith]

It really can't be that difficult but has anyone had experiencing fitting one of these blades. I took the advice of getting one of these as my last Bosch blade sprang off the wiper arm and looks like it took part of the arm that connects to the blade with it. Anyway one of the three fittings that come with the SWF kit dos fit perfectly onto the curve of the wiper arm but I can't seem to fit it to the blade.
Should the existing part on the blade be replaced. I dont want to break something and its getting irritating to say the least.
Any advice appreciated. As I said it really can't be that difficult.
Thanks

SWF 181 blade has the correct clip pre installed at the factory, dont worry about the other ones in the box, just bin em!

Thanks for the tip but it does need one of the clips in the box and whilst one does clip on the wiper arm, it does not clip onto the blade. Does the fitment that is on the blade come off and can it be changed?

The fitment that is on the blade can be changed to any of those provided in the box the blade was shipped with. Without having the benefit of seeing what options you have it's a bit difficult to make any specific recommendation, but I would look to see which fitment fits your wiper arm (which you have already done if I understand your post correctly) and then mount this on the wiper blade, before connecting the blade/fitment to the arm.

Sounds easy in writing, may be slightly more tricky in reality. The only thought I have at the moment is that the fitments are plastic and will clip onto a "pin" (circular cross-section) in the wiper blade assembly. Equally, the "wrong" fitment will be able to be prised out of the blade assembly with something like a screwdriver, taking care not to hurt yourself in the process.

Thanks Nick - screwdriver with a bit of force did the job.
