   Hi peeps.
   
   Ordered some of them aero flat wiper blades off the company called redline on ebay, put them on the saxo and the back window just seems to be clearing the edge and in the middle the actual wiper isnt even touching the window, because the blades are like arched!
   
   also it doesnt really clean the shit at the bottom of the windescreen in the middle
   
   What can i do?

   start your car and put the heater on full up to the window, take off ur blades an sit them up on ur dash on top of the heater vent for 10 mins or so, this will soften the rubber blade to make it more flexable so that it can bend easier to the shape of ur windscreen, put them back on and c wat happens

   oh right i will have to bend the arms abit mate. bend them towards the screen i take it, ill have to do the same with the back yeah? because the wiper just seems to go over the window and dirt and screen wash and not actually do anything
