wipers for new astra

[dragonboyrn]

I have got the new astra and I think its time to change the front wipers (18" and 22"). my question is, do I need to buy the whole 'fixture' or just replace the rubber part. if its just the rubber part, how do I remove the rubber?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

IMO Go to Halfords and buy the correct size of refill rubber blades. Fit them as per instructions though they need to be cut to size, so dont throw the old ones away too quickly - cost me about £7.50.

Vauxhall blades seem to be decent quality and reasonable price. They come complete rather than rubber insert. I would recommend these as the new Astra has slightly different blades to others.
