Re: Rear wiper
Did you replace them with stock wiper or did you go for the longer H253 blade.snapshot11 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 2:33 pmBrute force worked thanks very much job done its one way or the other gentle or brute force its just knowing which one before you begin so it does"t end up costing you a lot of money lol.
I replaced mine and got the larger H253 so now the visibility out the rear window is improved.

Re: Rear wiper
bit of a silly question but you only mean replacing the rubber blade with H253, right? not the entire rear wiper assembly?astraowner wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 2:37 pmDid you replace them with stock wiper or did you go for the longer H253 blade.snapshot11 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 2:33 pmBrute force worked thanks very much job done its one way or the other gentle or brute force its just knowing which one before you begin so it does"t end up costing you a lot of money lol.

Re: Rear wiper
Yes, it's the wiper blade for the Astra J but it fits fine on the rear window and gives a bigger wiping area. Changed mine to this when the rear one wore out and it's a definite improvement.

Re: Rear wiper
Exactly. I did this also, not because the old wiper blade was broken, but because i came from a Zafira B, with a large rear window and a larger wiper swing.nsanderson wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 12:07 pmYes, it's the wiper blade for the Astra J but it fits fine on the rear window and gives a bigger wiping area.

Felt almost claustrofobic, with the tiny "hole" the original rear wiper would clear.
