Re: Fiesta Wiper Blades

My Ford dealer said the mechs just replace the inserts in the original wipers.
$19 for a new set of rubbers, 10-15 minutes of swearing and you're away.
It's one of the few cases where brute force triumphs over guile and skill.
FWIW flip the wiper upside down, spot the end that has a small cutout piece, jam a smallish screwdriver in there and yank...hard. With luck the end of the wiper will bounce off a wall. If this fails try the other end. Slide the old rubber out, slide the new one in and Robert is one of your parent's siblings...assuming you can find the old end. Mine was in the dog's water dish.
I've done this twice and whereas people will tell you they're not repairable and Ford would really like to sell you a $6-70 set, they're both clearly mistaken.
FWIW my Focus is the same as my missus' WT Fiesta. Both replaced the same way.
