Look under the lid. Spare fuses are usually mounted there. Fuse puller is there too. Else you can just swap one from something else temporarily.

by lid you mean glove box lid? where abouts, i tried looking but no luck.

i also went out and bought some bosch aero twin wipers today and what a difference they make to the oem ones, nice streak free wiping :mrgreen: i have a 19'' on the drivers side and an 18'' on the passengers.

Standard practice is that the blade assy clips to the arm- pull the arm away from the windscreen and you should see the method used on yr car.The wiper arm has a hook on the end and the blade assy will be clipped in position. If you are only replacing the rubbers you do not remove the blade assy just unclip the rubber feed it out cut new ones to length and re assemble. If still struggling ask one of the boys at Burson's or Repco to take a quick squizz when they have a second.

Looks like you got it sorted but I am using OE blades and no streaks- the streaks tell you that the rubber is deddy bones.
