Title: V6 estate rear wiper
Post by: Marks DTM Calib on 10 October 2011, 16:27:39: Matchless popped round in his Omega estate last week which was sporting a Corsa C rear wiper blade.

Not only are these cheaper than the Omega ones but they also appear to be more compliant and hence wipe more of the glass!

Although I expect its cleaning power to be indentical....if you never push the button ;D ;D

Nice info though

I find a newish blade, on a new arm actually works well, provided the screen never gets too dirty

Post by: kcl on 11 October 2011, 08:43:39: I recently went to stealers to get original, factory-curved blade to my estate. I was sold a Vectra C rear window blade which not only is shorter also is straight. Went back to desk and they looked the system and said: "the original is nowadays superceded by this Vectra C blade"... Anyone had the same in UK?

Will also source some Corsa C blades as adviced :y

I've just replaced all 3 on mine with those. For $8.50 delivered, I'm thoroughly impressed, and have ordered a pair for the Avenger.

Post by: Olympia5776 on 10 November 2011, 21:14:27: One thing to do is ensure the spring pivot on the wiper arm is lubricated and free to follow the contours of the rear window. Mine always missed a section at the top around the brake light ,even with new blades,but after a good squirt of 3 in 1 and a bit of manipulation ::) it now clears the whole rear screen wipe area.
