Changing wipers

Time to change the wiper on the Starlet..

I choose the cheap Biltema windscreen wipers. The had some good testresult and the durability got the highest points, so lets try them.

Biltema wipers.... Replace all three of them, diffrent lenght on all of them, smallest in the back. See size on picture.

Old ones that got replaced. Tossed them.

Remove old Wipers
In my case to get the old ones of: pushing on "tabs" does not work (even though you might think so), you have to use a flat screwdriver and relase the front flaps holding the plastic clip in place. Need to do on both sides (pull the holders out) and then can pull the plastic clip backwards.. It was hard figure out.
