Changing Windscreen Wipers?

[Bailes1992]

Is it just my car or do all 406's not have fully liftable wiper arms? I cannot change my passengers side wiper blade as it dosent come off the screen enough?

They're all the same, it's bluddy annoying You have to rotate the little clip 90 degrees, then slide it along the arm.

I cannot get my passengers side to clip in tidy and it keeps slipping off and hotting my bonnet. I'l get the garage to sort it tommorow considering it's going in

You have to pull it in such a way that the wiper 'clicks' into place. You sometimes have to pull pretty hard. If you're confident that the clip in on right then just pull!!!!!! Please sign my disclaimer in the event you break your wiper arm

Thats what I'm scared of
Just give it to the garage as it has to go in for a whole host of things tommorow. Thing is it passed its MOT two weeks ago yet I just found the front ball joint N/S is knackered, the Bushes on the front O/S are knackered on the wishbones. Aswell I need to get the engine mounts fitted etc etc etc

Ah well

No real reason, just fancied doing it.

My clips dont look like that The drivers side one just pushed on and it 'clicked' the passengers side one just wont click in.

I know the sort, just goes inside the loop and has clips on the end that stop it sliding back up the arm. The trouble is they really need the wiper to be at 90 degrees to the arm (remove windscreen? )

Might go to peugeot and see if I can get a valeo passengers side one with a decent clip. The drivers side wiper is pretty good (I got bosch wipers).

I bought the Peugeot wipers last week. Put them on backwards. The clip was too high on the arm but they worked ok. I put them on right but I broke the clip in the process. Does anyone know if I can just buy the clip off the stealer?

Why not try your local car spares shop? I tend to throw spare and old wiper clips in a box for those unexpected breakages, my local shop does that as well.

I have to do this, might just pay Halfords 3 quid and get them to do it lol...............
