Wiper blades

[ippo88]

Hi

I bought these Bosch Aerotwin wipers AP24U and AP18U from Euro Car Parts.

These came with a multi clip and i cannot figure out how to get them on.

I'm using clip 4.

Has anyone had experience with these? Or let me know where i can get some for teh Superb as I've already bought a pair of wrong ones from Euro Car Parts.

Didn't they come with several adapter pieces in the box?

 

I (vaguely) remember having to fit a piece that came with the new wipers to make them fit...

I fitted some of these last week. They come with a variety if adapters - just compare the adapters with the old wipers and it should be obvious which one us correct. It's the one with the button release thingy. You just push the adapter on to the blade and slide the whole thing in to the arm - the button will click into place and you're done! Dave

They came with 4 clips, the closest appearing to be the one in the pic. Tried with no luck to fit.

I've changed wiper blades before on other cars but confused whether the correct adapter is included with this wiper.

Drefaldwyn did you fit these same Bosch ones on your car?

How much were the replacement wipers from Euro Parts please?

I bought a pair of Bosch wiper blades from (Wiper Blades.co.uk)  a couple of weeks ago. Cost around £27-00 inc delivery. They also send a video to show you how to fit them but it's just a case of taking the old ones off and slotting the new ones on.

Halfords say adapter 2 mounting A for the AP18U. They also sell the original Skoda fit for £28 for the front pair. If you know someone with an Halfords trade card you can get a heftey discount on their own brand

Sounds like you bought the wrong ones.

 

You need Bosch part number A188S.

 

£20.95 including delivery...

Thanks guys, Heli it does turn out i had to use adapter 2 mount A(inside 19mm) and a bit of tugging and job done!

From Euro parts the AP24U and AP18U were around £24 the pair.

But beware it lists them as exact fast fit but they come with 4 adapters so not model specific.

Cheers for the link Silver, would have saved me some faffing around. I'll keep an eye out for it next time.

Yes .... The correct adapter, for me at least, is the one on the rhs of your photo.
