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

Think there was a thread about this a few weeks ago mate, not sure if it tells you on there though.

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.

Does'nt the KIA or Pug one fit striaght on?

I *think* its the Kia one that goes straight on.

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!

hey,
talking about rear wipers whilst on holiday in fuertaventura (canaries)in
august i saw a silver in a petrol station,i noticed the rear wiper
whilst at rest was infact in the vertical position!!! resting in the center
of the rear window,unusual but i quite liked it.

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.

Cheers for that Chris. Have you got the link to that thread as I can't seem to find it. Typical man aren't I - oooh i cant see it

Here you go mate:

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.

Would have thought so mate. I've still got a 206 and goig to try it on my brothers fiesta when i get 5 mins. I'll let you know

The new shape Astra fits direct replacement,just unbolt old,, bolt on the new,infact its just one nut under the cover.

The one on ebay has now been reduced to 12.50 including delivery. im just a bit wary as i dont want to have to fart about cutting bits off it if it isnt the right one. someone has asked the question of where it has come from and they say its from a 2003 toyota avensis estate. the blade is also one inch bigger than the standard one therefore giving a bigger sweep. hmmmmm

maybe u should spend a bit more money for one which u know is going to fit straight on the car with no mods needing! like the new astra wiper which does work very well on the car just a bit smaller than the original one!

Ben the guy has repeatedly assured people this item is a straight swap. He's sold quite a few on my site too and every single customer has been perfectly happy with it.

Yes you are correct. It was my mate that said they was, shows how much he knows.
