chrisletts Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I need to fit a new rubber to the rear wiper of my 2015/16 Forester. I've done plenty on other cars but the Forester seems to have a very basic plastic wiper, and the end caps that stop the rubber coming out are built into the wiper itself. Can I simply bend the blade and/or endcaps to slide in the new rubber. The whole wiper seems so flimsy I'm worried it might break. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisletts Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 OK I've sussed it - seems I was right that the end cap can be bent backwards slightly, and the rubber is then flexible enough to go through the slots. I did take off the wiper arm and warm it up indoors to lessen the risk of anything breaking.. £13 for the rubber though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 You can buy the complete blade (Denso DRA035) for about £8 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
