Hi guys,
As above, driving back from Chris's yesterday, the Heavens opened. Luckily not for long as my wiper blades were useless; just smearing rain water and other crap across the screen ::)
So. Time to replace and luckily I have time off and some Bonusbond vouchers so Hellfrauds it is today.
I've never replaced these before. :-[ Is it the same as in this video from ETCG?

Yes, but you can change them when in their parked position :y :y

I changed mine a week ago with GM ones and they work quite well. It didnt rain for nearly a week after ;D
I didnt have to be quite as brutal as Eric. I just swung the wipers in the 'T' position and just pushed the blades down and around (there was no tab to push in). Fitting is obv. the reverse.
