Removing a wiper blade W202

[KillerHERTZ]

Ahem, im ashamed that Im asking this as I have done it in the past.

I have just purchased a flat Bosch style wiper blade and I cannot remove the old one. its hinged on a rivet but I cannot find any clip to pull a latch?

Help!

There is a plastic clip at the end of the wiper arm on the blade itself.
You should be able to push it down, towards the windscreen and than push the blade into the direction of the turning point of the whole assembly.

Thanks! guys + great pictures!

Im not stupid after all! - The large clip part had broken off & the only way I could remove the wiper was by prising it off with a small screwdriver.

Thats why I couldnt make sense of it.

Im thinking of getting these new style Bosch AeroTwin flat wiper blades aswell could you post a picture of how they look on your W202 and have you used them yet are they realy as good as there claimed to be ?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Hey man where did you buy your wiper from? and is the spoiler on the aero twin around the right way for the right hand drive?

Have fitted the Aero wiper blade a few days ago. Very impressed seems to stick to the screen much better than the old one. Very pleased.

Does it stick to the screen along the complete length, or does it not make complete contact near the end? I think KLP92 said it didn't make complete contact on his thats why I ask

 

[KillerHERTZ]

The end (about 1inch) doesnt make contact, still 10times better than the old one.

 

[gurpz]

im shure in time it may bend into shape so it does make contact, dont you think ?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Here is a shot of the front, gives you an idea of the area that doesnt touch the screen (note: Shadow). doesnt effect it overall & I still prefer it to the standard type.

And, no the water on the screen isnt after I had used the wiper!

Does anyone else have a pet hate of using this 'h' in sure?

I totally agree.
