The shop detail says you should park the wipers midway on the windscreen to remove the blades. I'll try that method and see if that works.

The X100 wiper blades definitely do the 90 rotation and hold in place for blade replacement. No issue with my '03 XKR. Might check the X150 forum for info on your newer model.

I just purchased the PIAA 'Super Silicone' wiper refills mentioned in this thread. Can anyone give instructions on installing them or is it self-explanatory?
