I tried to order a LHD wiper blade that has a foil and received this message:

"Your order ####### placed at britishparts.co.uk has been voided for the following reason:

SORRY NOT A VIABLE INTERNATIONAL ORDER"

Anyone have any idea where I can buy one? This should be 21 inches in length.

 

I replaced mine with Bosch Teflon blades. The full curvature blades have a small air deflector built into the blade.

 

I've seen a few ads for those blades while I was/am searching for a blade with a built in hard foil. How do they work for you? When you use your windshield washer, do they leave anything behind when the blades come to rest/stop?

The problem that I'm having is if I wash the windshield, when the cycle ends I'm left with a 2 inch mess right in my field of view. I have to flick the wipers a couple of times and then wait for what ever is left behind to self-dry. I wanted a foil blade with the hopes that the left over water would be directed away from my field of view and not left in it.

I've seen these foil blades on other cars and imports but I'll be darn if I can locate one via the net. I'm not sure why the parts house across the pond doesn't want to sell me one but that's their choice. I don't know why they list both a GBP price and a USD price if they won't sell to the USA. I"ll forget about buying any parts from them in the future.

 

I am using the Bosch ICON blade. PN 421-A on the driverside and 421-B on the passenger side. The "B" series has more curvature to fit around the pass side. Both are 21" long.

 

The Teflon blades leave the glass very clean! They also will not dry out as fast as rubber blades. I got mine at my local NAPA store. I also wax my glass with Nu-Finish car polish and don't have to use the wipers as much.
