Re: Winter Wiper Blades

I know. I had the same problem. #$%^GF&*((.
But, they're on now FIRMLY. It's what you call a PRESSURE fit.

Just make sure your knuckles and the wiper arm are protected, and Pull!

Good luck!

Thanks, Anco.

OK, what do those of you with 5k's who live in the snow and ice belts
use for winter wiper blades?  I have been quite unsuccessful in finding
a set of winter wipers that fit the 5k's.  For whatever reason, the
"hook" on the wiper arm of the 5k's is much shorter than normal. so the
winter blades I've tried will not lock into place.

I tried a set of Anco and a set of Bosch winter blades, neither worked.
Am I the only one who has run into this problem?  The Bosch summer
blades work fine 90% of the time, but the 10% that they ice up are a
real pain.
