Nope, not tried Würth gloves. I suspect they're good though. I bought these, cat 3 PPE, better ISO qualities than Würth and 4x the quantity, strong and often reusable. Not had a pair rip todate. £16.95 so £3 cheaper.

They look excellent Rob, cheers.

Recommendations anyone, for bonding window glass?

I've never done it - presumably you have to gently press the glass down by hand until it sets?

Is this the stuff AS? It's an Ad' for a bulk order:

The glue and primers are available in smaller quantities, and separately too it seems. Made by Dupont/Dow:

Heres the Dokas rear roll bar, cleaned to shinny metal, let's see how the ole red oxide keeps the rust back.

Flat Windscreen Wiper Blades

WVan came my way some 5 years ago fitted with those broad flat type windscreen wipers rather than the traditional thin type. Both were 21 inch branded Heyner, and whileneither was new, one had been replaced maybe a year previously?



The older one was replaced a year on, with a (relatively) cheapish brand that lasted a year and half, yet that remaining Heyner soldiered on for a total of four years minimum that I know of.

Reputable brands like Bosch are expensive at £20+, with the 'cheapies' a bit less than half this, and having a much shorter lifespan if my experience is typical?

So I'm wondering what brands other Pilgrims are fitting? Any cheapo' recommendations or is it inevitably Bosch etc?

Does anyone prefer the traditional type blade rather than the flat version? For The Windscreens.

Flat screen wipers, aaahhhggggg! Best left for vehicles designed in the 2000's.

Guys. I have the flat ones on mine not had a problem for years with them

Which Brand do you recommend HM, and what kind of life do you get out of them?

[huskyman]

Don't know. What they are they came with the van. I have had this van 3 years now. Had bosch ones on the old van maybe 5 years

Any particular reason Si?

There are these flat cheapo's for example, only £7-69 for a pair

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265791631...Cclp%3A2047675

However are they pigeon dropping proof? Have they been comprehensively tested??

Maybe I'm expecting too much, and should resign myself to replacing them every year, but if they last longer, then that's simply a bonus?

[Jim24]

I understand that Quantum is VW's own brand for the UK, and that they are made for them by Bosch, so these might be considered good value at £16 a pair?

Anyone tried them out?
