Windscreen Wiper Help

Featured Replies

I’ll try make this quick and simple. I want to put a sunstrip on my 2006 Ford Fiesta Zetec S. I currently have a 22” wiper on the driver side and 16” on the passenger. The driver side wiper covers most of the windscreen so there isn’t much room to install a sunstrip. Would I be able to downsize the driver side to something like 16” or 18”?



By fitting a shorter wiper blade don`t forget you will also reduce the amount that is cleaned at the bottom of the windscreen.

Just chop an inch off the top of the existing blade... :wink:

Or stick the sun strip on the inside of the glass would look ok unless you have a heated windscreen which then you would see the element lines

This would have been my advice too
