Re: Wipers
No - well the mechanism and arms are Rover Metro/100; but my wiper blades are both 17.5" ones with spoilers, I think they are Bosch.

Re: Wipers
Thanks for the reply thought that may be the case due to different size windscreen Ian

Re: Wipers
Having said that, Rover Metro blades are 16"/400mm so they would fit though give a slightly smaller swept area. I think I went a size up or two - so maybe classed as 18" ones - but going too much longer causes them to clash IIRC.

Re: Wipers
Hi, From the manual -
"Standard Rover Metro K Series wiper arms are used with the larger blades T0685 provided within the kit. It is possible to bend the standard Rover Metro arms at their ends nearest the fitment to the wiper blade to obtain a better sweep of the screen."
From memory I didn't bend the arms, I just used a smaller blade.# Juls

Re: Wipers
19" are what the Cinquecento uses (which is what the Libra windscreen is). Did you go for traditional type or 'flat' blades?
