Guide Wiper Blade Change Focus Mk2 & Mk2.5.pdf

I think it was about £2 more expensive to buy Ford wipers over Bosch for the front (from Eurocarparts).

Rear was considerably cheaper!!

I thought Vicki was supposed to be modelling these guides? Lol

Not sure mate,

I wrote this guide back in 2012

All i done last week was create the pdf version, i haven't seen the bosch boxs for a while.

26", 17" & 14" on the back

Bosch still do the box set. I just have a preference for Ford wipers up front. Tried Bosch in the past and wasn't impressed

Thanks!

Not sure if mine need replacing or that horrible rain ex stuff the garage put on is causing my smears! They're great in proper rain but slight rain and morning dew greasy!

RainX isn't too bad so long as it's applied to an immaculately clean screen.

I've recently tried it for the first time (was given to me by a friend who swears by it). Didn't like it - like you, mine smeared everywhere.

Gave the screen a damned good clean (Autoglym glass polish - Halfords 3-for-2 and 15% off? Be rude not too :D) and applied sparingly with a good amount of buffing. I replaced the wipers at the same time - so gave the new ones a clean and a wipe over with RainX - works really well. Now I get a brief smear (like a motion blur behind the moving wipers) that lasts maybe 2 seconds.

To clean the screen and apply RainX takes a lot of effort.

They put it on my last car too! Works fine for me for about a month. I did like the fact it stopped frost forming though, got a heated screen now so shouldn't matter.

I will try what you have done.

Cheers.

It works really well on the heated mirrors - whack the rear screen demist on and the mirrors clear much quicker than without it

so rear demist switch also activates heated mirrors is that right

Yes that's right

I use Michelin Stealth wiper blades.

They last longer than the standard Ford Aero blades and wipe better too.
