I have just seen this on ebay. It looks to be the same wiper they sell on torquesteer but at half the price. They are asking for £15 (with free postage) or nearest offer. I'm quite tempted myself but don't know how easy it would be to fit.

Clicky

Yeh this guy is selling them on our website. They are Toyota Avensis wipers which have been modified to fit the Fiesta and they should be a straight swap.

it looks like the one thats already on?

i did a similar thing when i had my saxo but just took the rear wiper off so the back end looked loads smoother cost about 50p for a rubber bung lol only trouble was i obviously didnt have a rear wiper

imo i dont see the point of changing it but thats me prob looks really smart

meh

Bought mine from a Vauxaull/Opel dealer from a New Astra 3 doors Coupe and its just fit straight on the car, is just a bit smaller than the old one! pay around £15 for it I think!

I'd be surprised if Ford had them set-up to work differently in different countries, since would cost too much. Unless they'd had it done to do that maybe it was just stuck!

So is it really easy to take the arm off the current one and fit a new one or does it involve taking bits out of the boot lid?

Well, just found the old thread now, and in there someone had got an Astra wiper from Vauxhall for £14 and they said that it was dead easy just a straight swap. Heres a pic of theres:



Now it does look pretty similar, although ever slightly different from that one on ebay, so I'd assume it must also be pretty straightforwards.

Been told that the 206 wiper just bolts straight on think this is the same one torquesteer sell. To swap them over you lift the plastic nut cover up and undo the bolt take the ford scafolding one of and throw it away then but your new smoth one on and then do the nut back up

It looks identical to the clio one. The KIA one needs a bit of plastic sawing off so its not a straight swop.



With Renault being part of the PSA group then no doubt Shitron and Pugs are the same.
