better for the environment and minimising waste and landfill, regardless of income levels this should be encouraged

[@philippebuch]

Great idea! Thank you! I even managed to replace the rubber without taking the cap off! :D haha

[@Kzra2]

Thanks for the tutorial, I was able to follow along and replace my wiper blades with refills. It's frustrating how difficult Bosch make it to do so!

[@diyroby732]

Glad it helped

[@user-lt7fr6mb2y]

We have produced wipers for more than 20 years and accepted customized packaging boxes and logos

[@tjam4229]

I think you should’ve pushed down those little clips in order to remove the plastic endcap

[@niandralades8180]

New wipers cost about 30eu in my country, I guess I'll have to try your method

[@annacahill5394]

Tricky to get the end caps off but it should be easier next time. Im guessing willonly ne able to change the rubber out one or two more times before the plastic caps break.

[@diyroby732]

[@nasirqayyum7981]

[@petergarvey2358]

You open the end where the rubber is fixed with the metal clip.

Hi. My golf mk6 need 24" and 19" wiper blade. Can i buy 26" rubber and cut it in the size?

[@diyroby732]

That's what I did.

[@anthony6006]

I replaced the rubber and still wipes like the old one.

[@bigyjeep]

[@diyroby732]

Hey, that is a local hungarian website autofejlesztes.hu. You'll need to check for shops in your area for these spares.
