   Easy to do. Its not very good in bad rain. Best bet would be loads off rain-x

    i have one, was a nightmare! when pissing down with rain it came undone on the motor and i had no wiper. now i done it up uber tight n it sits in the middle of my windscreen, lol. I do still prefer it to the double wipers but does your head in sometimes

    Check a scrappy or look on some other sites and see if you can get an Citroen AX one first, theyre exactly the same.

    yeah should do mate, as a few cars like the citroen AX and mercedes came standard with them, just as long as the rubber on them is in good condition thats all that matters really
