Wiper blade solution !

[JonnyCJ]

My QPV replacement arm and blade is £52 from Maserati. Apparently it's a Ferrari part.

Speaking to Marios at Autoshield he said just replace the actual rubber blade bit. I therefore bought the correct length Bosch SP blade, unclipped one end of the blade and slid the rubber/metal bit out and did the reverse on the existing OE arm.

That way you keep the fancy arm and get a new blade at a fraction of the cost of an OE one.

Happy days.

Have done this on several cars over the years. It's saves you a lot and it is no more than 5 minutes time to install.

Done that for years

Yep Until I discovered the silly cheap e-bay Aero blades

Is that a thumbs up or down for aeros and do they fit the OE wiper blade frame ?

Not sure on the QP. For the 4200 it's a massive thumbs up from me. <£6 a pair and work perfectly. Last as long as the Bosch ones I used previously. No lifting at high speed

Both good tips, anything to save a few shillings..!!

I removed mine and put the aeroblade type on but when I was at the meet with other owners noticed they were on the originals. Not sure if it spoils the look of the car or not!
