Sunstrip

  1. #1
    Alrite guys.
    Bought a sunstrip from halfords - £8.99 - not just for looks but the fact the sun gets in my eyes alot when i drive home. I here there are legal requirements.. does anybody know how big/small it can/has to be ??

    Thanks

    to go through the mot it also must not go within a certain area of the windscreen or it will fail on restricting your view as i found out! so swapping the wipers for smaller ones doesnt always work!

    my wipers practically go to the top of my windscreen - can i just buy smaller ones to get round this??

    Yes & no, just fit the sunstrip how you want it after the MOT. After a year they start to look a bit aged anyway.

    i thought that if it wasnt as low as when you put your sunvisors down it would be ok!? being as why would they put sunvisors there and they still pass mot?



    o well i might be ripping it off in 3 months time then
