pete1986 2 Posted October 8, 2007 Fitted a rear clio wiper arm today that i picked up at the scrappy. Problem is that it will only wipe the bottom half of the window I tried putting the blade from the 205 wiper on but it was worse. How have other paople done theirs? Do i need the base of the clio wiper aswell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 8, 2007 What do you mean the base? I've had a couple of 205's with clio rear wipers, worked fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete1986 2 Posted October 8, 2007 i mean the bit poking out of the tailgate where the arm attaches to. At the moment only half of the wiper touches the window!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cybernck 403 1 Cars Posted October 9, 2007 ^ there are two versions, an early chunky squareish one and a late sleeker and more stylish one like yours. mine was an early one and didn't seem eager to wipe the window properly in the middle part of the wiper.

GLPoomobile 958 Posted October 9, 2007 I never had any problems with the later smooth version pictured above. The earlier chunky ones look gash anyway! Bin it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted October 9, 2007 I've had the early chunkier ones without problems too though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted October 9, 2007 Rubber grommet looks the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted October 13, 2007 I've noticed some other cars with wipers very similar to the late Clio one. One that springs to mind is the Vauxhal Zafira. I'm sure it must be a bit longer so would probably give the benefit of actual functionality as well as the smooth look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
