Simple question......what type of wiper blades do you buy for a Mini? Can you get them at Repco or the like?

Ones that fit :wink: seriously though the beauty of 10" Mini wipers is that you get 4 out of a pair :roll: I used the 'universal' silicone type

The ones with the slidey in thing, not the one with it built in. Hehe, thats all that I remember. I got em from Supercheap, and they were pretty cheap!

Take the old ones off and buy the same ones. No wipers on JAM? Well take one off pops. 8)

Buy a good brand from repco or even Kmart. They all fit. You only need 1 balde (cut it in half) then you have a spare set! :wink:

I think it is the trico ones that are the specified replacements. About 8 bucks a pair i think. They are metal backed to slide into the wiper holder, and have 'clips' at the end to hold the blade in place. They last very well too.

Cheers

I brought Bling! S/S arms in from MiniSpares.
I've used most replacement blades- I reckon Trico fit best.
