Am I right in thinking if I get a 20mm sunstrip I just need to take 20mm off both wiper blades don't I? want to make sure I get it right because its a M.o.t fail if I get it wrong lol. Also standard blades are 555 and 500 if I member right.........dont have a measuring tape:-(

Do standard wipers go to the top of the windscreen?
Would have thought taking 20mm from wiper length would take 10mm from each side, so still crossing the strip

Yes you are not allowed any obstruction /vusual impairment in the swept area bigger than 10-40mm depending on where it is. And thinking about it yeh it would take off 10mm both ends not just from the top. I need to do this to mine really as well...

I may be a bit slow here but why would you need to take it from the bottom end of the wiper blade ? :/

Errr coz wipers mount in the middle of the blade so if one is shorter it will be shorter both ends Thumbs up
