Was having a quick mooch around ebay, window shopping as im sure all us less well off mini owners do! And I came across these flat wipers, wondering if anyone had used them yet, if they are good quality or cheap knockoffs, thanks all!

Yeah I bough them for my van and they work well and are a doddle to fit.

Cheers! I work in halfords so i got some on trade for our 4x4 and they are a savior! Now all our cars have them lol. Wasnt sure if they would still be effective due to the size!

[Sir Cheat]

There like what modern cars have... Might have to get a pair at that price..

I've got some, not from that seller though. Haven't fitted them yet though as I'm not to sure about the fitment.

Thats what i thought, similar to the bosch aeroblade ones. Ive never seen them for the mini before as conventional sizes are 17"+. So thought I would share the love and help fellow mini drivers to be able to drive with a clearer screen in the rain!

Just purchased a set... better be good! lol

[almarsh132]

Let me know if they are please! Seem like an absolute steal at that price aswell. If they are anything like the ones on my jimny they will be a must have for all mini owners!

[Danny_California]

Will do

[danrock101]

These were absolute sh*te. Didnt "flex" to fit the screen any more than the standard ones, they were too long and fouled on the top of the screen, they look bloody awful, and they got stuck on the drivers side and nearly twisted my wiper arms off. Oh, and they dont fit properly so when you put them on they dont locate on to the arms well enough to stop them being really wobbly. Going to try and get my money back, but since the oh so clever packaging means you have to destroy it to get them out, I fear I may be pee'ing in the wind >
