Default To Sunstrip or not to Sunstrip?

Thinking of getting a plain black sunstrip!

Where did you get your sunstrips?

Did you fit yourselves???


Your thoughts please....

Alex,


Just a thought, but you could have 'V-Tech' and 'V-Tech's bird' on the strip .

Mr Spec C

I've done a little search myself and I think that 21" & 18" is the standard length wiper blades.

The length I need is with a Sunstrip! They would need to be shorter so that they don't foul / fail an MOT

Anyone with a Classic and Sunstrip know what length I should be getting??

Thanks for the offer, basically I'm getting a sunstrip put on my car soon and wanted to know what people do about there windscreen wiper. Is it the norm to by shorter wiper blades or not??

But having said that I spoke to Mark yesterday after my last post and he said that with standard length wipers he hasn't had an issue with MOT or wipers damaging the sunstrip. So to be honest I'll probably will not bother buying shorter blades!!
