i've just bought a sunstrip with lettering stuck on. which sticks to the outside of window. so my question is will wipers when it goes over strip and lettering over time make them come off? if so how have you got around it as i don't want to change size of wipers as you then also lose what it wipes off at the bottom of the blade.

 

It should be fine although when you fit it you shouldn't use the wipers for a day of so to allow the glue to bond to the screen. Have no problems with mine.

 

Remember this is an MOT fail, so fit smaller wipers

 

why an mot fail? your aloud a sunstrip but must be no more 10cm down from top of windscreen as anything above this is illegal and an mot fail.

 

a Windscreen sticker or other obstruction encroaching more than 10mm in the swept area

thanks for the info as i thought is was from top of windscreen

 

There's a fair difference between 10mm and 10cm !!!!

 

hi sticky stuff are you able to do my sunstrip i asked for sent a pm

thanks

 

Ive got a 5inch deep sunstrip on my car, and have had for the last 3 years. there is no problem with my wipers peeling it off. as for the MOT, depends where u get it done, but most are pretty sound and just pass it anyway.

 

Ive had a sunstrip for 2 years on my car and its never failed an MOT yet (2 different MOT stations)
