I just got so excited at the prospect of after 19 years driving I may be able to get wipers that work on a mini - I have ordered a set straight away.

I have then on the Focus ( I know, its a Ford) and they work so well compared to 'conventional' wipers.

Then £19.98 lighter I realised the my mini is a garage tart and has only been out in the rain twice in six years .
Oh well, at least they will last a long time!

Haha. Thats the spirit .

I've wanted some for my Mini since I got it, but I thought it was going to be more work. I fitted some flat blades to a friends car and they did an amazing job!

Prawn, any pictures of yours fitted yet? I'm interested to see how good they look .

ebay number 270443681905

fit to normal mini wipers as they came with all the different fitting clips. (now im the only person in the northwest wanting it to rain)

These are the images that glyn was struggling to post up:

[GraemeC]

Is it just the angle of the photos or has the passenger side one moved over a bit further? Looks about an inch nearer the passenger side.

[glyn]

one is 12" drivers side the other one is 11" passenger side. they both fit on the windscreen when moving so now just need that rain lol

[Deathrow]

I don't like how they overhang the screen on to the rubber.

I'll have to sort that on mine .

Deathrow I have that problem on my standard ones They get over excited when I put them on speed two... and the try wiping people over taking wind screens aswell

[shorty]

lol see if you can find another one the same size as the shorter one..11inchs i think it is.
or just buy two sets of ebay...then keep the two shorter ones and sell the two longer ones

Haha, I can imagine that headline:

"Driver at large after Mini wipes pedestrians from crossing!"

[captainjack15]

Yeah near enough

[GraemeC]

He says the shorter one is on the passenger side already.


It looks like the fixing method shifts the pivot point a further inch or so away from the end of the arm.

[glyn]

the passenger one is the short one and you are correct it moves the pivot point over abit and it just does not quite touch i have found these

abit more expensive but they defo wont hit rubber. i think you could trim a bit off if you needed i will have a look and see if the pivot point can be moved.
