i want to change the wiper arm on my focus mk2 fl to the newer blade type cant think of the name at the moment. what arm would be a straight swap from a newer focus that has the newer blade ?

ive got a flat blade from a different car but cant remember the model so would like to get new arm from a focus that has the flat blades

I've removed mine completely and won a €100 fuel voucher for suggesting it as a cost saving motoring tip on a local radio  station; because the ford dealership cant charge me €35 for replacing a wiper that isint there although they did try the first time 😂 until I pointed out it wasn't there anymore that was Awkward 🤔😯😬🤷‍♂️

The boot strap is great for dropping the kids to school as there not tall enough yet to close the boot after taking out there school bags; they can close it now because they can reach the sparco tow strap 👌😅 also good for keeping the boot down when transporting IKEA boxs which protrude from the rear

Each to there own, I have a reverse camera fitted in the boot handle; if I hadn't got it; I'd be missing the rear wiper; also there was a time when I enjoyed creating guides and the rear de-wiper hadn't been done before so I done it mainly for the purpose of creating the guide 😅

Yeah I use the rain X clay bar kit every two months or so, 

Maintaining it then every two weeks with the rainX spray and in wet weather I put the rear de-mister switch on keeps it from fogging; I do that mainly for the benefit of the rear dashcam

My local autosave is where I got the original type aero ones so much easier to put on than any others.

Diesel is fine if you keep the DPF.  When I used to run remapped, decatted diesels the rear ends were always sooty though.

Mk3 & 3.5 both had the plastic rear wipers.  Mk4 uses an aeroblade but I doubt the Mk4 arms are readily available yet.
