Seabass_sg Neutral Newbie January 13, 2010 Share January 13, 2010 Read in the papers that one can buy the wiper inserts to replace the rubber portion which cannot be used due to wear and tear. Can seek advise on where to purchase as my wiper only the rubber portion a bit spolit due to wear and tear while the holder still in good condition. Thought of just buy the insert and replace but could not find any so far as the ones I saw are all in a package - holder plus rubber insert ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not sure what is your size, ask the counter girl for help. She will take it out and check for you. Very good service, becos when she finished she put it back for you. No extra charges.

I used to do that by changing the rubbers...but these days too lazy....Take the package and change when my wipers are unable to clear efficiently....
