    Yes that is correct, correct my if i'm wrong but the wipers on my saxo when working miss the top of the screen by about 10mm. You can't possibly put a 10mm sunstrip on

    i miss mine
    i accidently riped it of when i was scraping the ice from my windscreen.
    
    they are illegal if the wipers go over them but i know so many people that just put smaller wipers on, i never had a problem with mine though..

    #25 16th February 2010, 21:46

    because it looks more like a tint on the inside, instead of a block colour. looka t pics of peoples, you'll see a difference

    If done right will look good, i think the smaller less in your face ones look better.
    
    The ones which are thin that actually blend in with your windscreen "the ones with loads of dots like u get round your window" look sik

    only reason i put mine on inside was because the wind and rain i was going thro the strips weekly, cos the wiper only had to pull alittle bit off and wind would take rest off when drivin
