Wiper blades

[V8Smith]

I need new wiper blades for my GTS, just wondering if there are alternatives to the main dealer ones, others don't seem to fit?

Cheers

A wiper blade manufacturer has to make them, Maserati don't make wiper blades Bob. I know that Bosch make for some models definitely.

Also look here at this manufacturer: http://www.tricoproducts.com/Drivers/FindYourWiperSize

Thanks mate. Always amazed how many websites don't work on the iPad! You would think that large companies would be aware of that...

Bob,
Have you checked your security settings on the iPad, this might be the problem? I can usually find most stuff on the iPad, by the way, have you downloaded the new IOS-6, it's better?

Hi, works fine on my Vaio now that I am home. The problem I have with my ipad is scroll menus where the tab to move through them is missing. I have 6.0 on my iphone - love it.

Thanks Robert, bought them from Trico, ended up ordering them from the US on Amazon using the link on their 'where to buy' page, but was £36 for both including shipping and import taxes, as opposed to £95 for one

Cheers

Interesting. Let us know if they fit!

Mike,
The only thing I think you will have to check with those from the US is the sizing and which side they fit, when they say drivers side it's obviously not the same as ours, but it may not matter.

Aren't they standard Boschs of a standard length....one a bit shorter than the other

Thanks, yes didn't think about that, the sizes are the same 26" & 17" so should fit, I'll report back once they arrive

It's not the size it's the fitment, especially on the drivers side, they just don't fit, tried a few pairs of Bosch yesterday.

Maybe the Trico will suit then, somebody has to make them?

Trico did have a system where you put your make/model/year in and it said whether they were compatible, so should be in theory..?

AS Trico offer the model to fit the car in question, they will have to fit.
