Wiper Blade Replacement
Ok, almost embarrassed to ask this one as someone who considers himself to be quite 'savvy' with things mechanical. I have decided that it's time to treat the 330 to a new set of wiper blades. I have checked which wiper blades I need - I need the old type (the fitting changed in 2009 and although a LCI car I have the old type fittings). However, how do you get the old ones off? At the front, I guess I need to get the cover off the fitting, but no manner of pulling seems to get it off, I don't want to break it, so is it just a case of 'brute force'?
Turning to the rear, I can't see any obvious way of getting the blade off and again 'brute force' seems to have little effect. |

On the underside of the cover you will see two tabs, squeeze these together and the cover should pull off. They cost about £2 if i remember correctly from when some toe-rag stole my wipers!

You need 1x24" & 1x19". Get them from www.wiperblades.co.uk I have used them in the past and found them to be very good, quick to deliver and far cheaper than Halfrauds or Stealers.
