Hi all, I just bought a pair of wiper blades from Super Cheap Auto to replace my 2006 Fiesta's wiper blades. The old blades have metal strip while the new ones don't. When I slide the new blade onto the wiper arm, I found that the blade doesn't fit the last claw. Anyone has experience replacing their Fiesta's wiper blades? Please help. Thank you
This is the end where the clip is ... and this is fine Uploaded with ImageShack.us And this is the end where the claw doesn't fit Uploaded with ImageShack.us Last edited by flake; 13-02-2011 at 06:13 PM. Reason: Added images |

I gave up and got Bosch Aeros. They're not cheap, but last well & replacement is a doddle.

Thank you for your reply kiwijohn42. But I need to put this one on as the original one has been un-usable. Next time I will consider to buy a better one.

I seem to remember they only clip in at 1 end & the other just sits there.
