I just replaced my wipers to the Rain-X Lattitude, 17" and 24" for the front, and a 12" Weatherbeater for the rear.......Yes, a 12" wiper will fit, at least this one did, it comes pretty close to the rear spoiler, but makes it fine.:smileup: What a difference a good wiper can make. I was using Bosch Icons before, no complaints. The rear wiper that I was using before was an Exact fit Teflon blade, it was less than a year old, and it was horrible how much it chattered. With the new blade, it is a smooth as a babies bum!! I highly reccomend using these wiper blades.

Rear 12", front 24" & 17"

Original rear was 11" but 12" fits easily.

Replacement of blades is a snap-on.

Reversing the spoiler direction on flat blades is straightforward once you figure it out.

I could not get a cheap 17" so modded an 18" with a half inch snip - it did not even need to be that much.

Using a 16" instead would give a 1 3/4" smaller sweep, can't recommend that?

Time to update the rear, the design is improve.

Mopar Blue and dual action spoiler so no need to reverse the profile.

Same 12" clearance for maximum visibility

Yeah of course. Unbranded. Nicely boxed with no reference so must be from China.
12" Flats are rarely stocked in stores.

Bulk buys have been slow here. Won't affect price on these much.
A set of three would be $12 a blade, plus shipping - we can still do surface about $10 (air is more).

OK got the message. Are you collecting in Leipzig ?

I'll see if any others want to place orders before sending out quotations.

Improved Rear Wiper performance

Think the rear wiper does not work ?
Area cleared not large enough to be useful ?
Too noisy, chatters, streaks.

These new two way flat blade spoilers work better than others I have tried.
The previous flat blades had exposed metal and went rusty, the rubber hardened.

THE GROUP BUY IS ON.

The GROUP BUY Blades are here, just sorting out the labels and customs forms.

Should make it to the Post Office before close today.

Note to others :

The large 24" Black blade will not be discounted so much, in future $20

All other colors and sizes $12

All the Flat Wiper blade orders have gone out (Airmail). You should get them by next week.

Future orders for sets at $10 shipping is for Surface (by ship) delivery.
Takes a month but makes no difference if you are buying a spare.
If you are not planning ahead then Air Freight for a set is an extra $10.

Good to hear. They arrived in the US also in the same time it took to cross the North Sea.
Use mine everyday in this climate, they are the best ones yet tried on the Cali.
