windscreen wiper blades

Postby jagcat12 » Sat Jan 26, 2019 2:43 pm

Hi All

I need to change wiper blades on my A610 as old ones really noisy even when raining .Have checked it is not the motor.
Looking on Ebay lots of blades claiming to fit A610 but all are 22 inch where as on my car they are 21 inch. Can any one recommend a good set. Thanks

Hi Dave,
21 " blades are the correct ones for an A610, 22" one fit but will catch on the screen surround and need trimming... a lot..

My current and previous set of blades for my A610 were: MICHELIN STEALTH Hybrid Front Wiper 2 Blade Set 530 mm/21'' & 530 mm/21'' (252362043697 )

I purchased these via E Bay from d2pautoparts10 although there are lots of sellers of these blades on E Bay. These are half way house between the older standard style and the newer flat blades.They also come with a variety of adaptors. I find they work extremely well even at 70+ mph in the rain...not that I ever drive that fast...! If you cant find someone selling 2 x 21" blades as a pair then you might have to resort to buying 2 single ones.

Hope this helps, Barry.

Hi Barry

Weirdly I wrote a long reply to this and it seems to have disappeared.

In summary measure the correct length you need or take a blade with you as the length varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. A blade marked as 21” could have a rubber anything from 20.5”-21.5”

You want the longest blade that is just short of touching the windscreen rubber.
