That’s the right way for shovelling snow off the screen though :D

I recently replaced mine with Bosch wipers, only one spoiler supplied in a pack that has two wipers.
What purpose does the spoiler serve ?.

Air flowing over the curved blade forces the wiper into the screen to help it clear effectively.

This is useless information for owners of garage queens :whistle:

Well I've learned something new :thumbsup:.
Makes me wonder why they don't supply one for each wiper.

Passengers don't need to see. In some circumstances that is a big advantage - The car equivalent of the Hitchikers panic sunglasses. :D

They'll only come with the spoiler blade, for the driver's side mate.

I imagine you see a fair few fitted on the wrong side and upside down ?.
Every day is a school day Steve, and, sometimes I'm a teacher:). I turned the blade over on this P206 but the owner will never know mate.

Just been out to lock the conservatory doors mate and it's tipping it down here. Going to fun, and wet, if it's like this in the morning. I love getting dripped on when testing cars!=))

You used to be able to buy the blades loose at Halfrauds.
And its pishing it down here too. ffs....
Still might be able to Mike, I didn't look tbh.
Tried just replacing the rubber inserts years ago, didn't seem to work too well.

We don't even bother with those inserts now Steve, blades (and decent quality that you can afford to change each year) we can buy for less than £1 each.

Reminds me of a Mini van I saw in a car magazine back in the seventies. The proud owner had fitted a reversed wing to the back end of the roof, the idea being that as he built up speed the back end would lift thereby putting more weight on the front end.:wideyed: Ah the good old days.
