Smile WS Fiesta Wiper Blades - Ebay...

Hi Guys,

I've had my WS for over 2 years now, love the car. Due to the fact that it actually rained in Perth this winter, I had to get a new set of wipers - mine were sun baked...

I went to AutoOne and they quoted me $50 for the main driver's side one. I nearlly passed out! The guy was very helpful and nice about it explaining that these new wipers can't have the rubbers replaced, it's the whole part that's needed.

Anyway to cut a long story short, I got a complete front set off ebay for $22.95, that's including the delivery. They are exactly the same as the ones I took off. Fittings, everything - the same! Thought i'd share the link as I've seen a few threads on here in the past on this subject.

Wipers link

I have nothing to do with this store btw, just a happy customer passing on my information...

Thanks that's very handy. I think the Autoone guy was telling fibs but for $22 it's not worth fluffing around with inserts. Good find

Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Ford couldn't fix my BlueTooth issue. This member posted a download link, with instruction, on how to do it myself. One week on, the unit hasn't played up once. Three different dealers told me to virtually 'Live with it.
