    This has been probably been answered a million times but what is needed to change all wipers to flat blades on a pre facelift. Do you need to buy a new rear arm and the same with the fronts.

    Can't answer about the rear but the front are pretty much just straight changes, most tell you if they are for the old "hook" type arms. Tesco are selling flat blade wipers for the front for £3 each, 24 and 19 inch, but I think im going to go for the Bosch ones from Eurocarparts at £19.99 a pair.

    I have just put a set of tesco flatblades at £3 each on as my original Vauxhall ones needed replacing,and I can say these are just as good at a fraction of the price
