   I have a sunstrip on my car n just read that it will only pass MOT if the wiper blades do not touch it???
   
   i brought alot smaller wiper blades but they do not make a difference as the connection is still in the middle of the blade.
   
   so i think i need shorter wiper arms??? does anyone no were i can get hold of these?
   
   ive tried shortening my original ones but failed horribly
