Re: Tesco flat wipers
Thanks Nate
i did have them on the wrong way round but i changed it and it's no better!
the problem is that instead of being flat they are curved and don't touch the screen properly in the middle leaving a large manky bit!

Re: Tesco flat wipers
they're meant to be curved, so that the edges are pushed against the screen.
are the springs in your wiper arms nice and strong, and the pivots move nice and free?
