Anyone reccomend another wiper to replace this one? like a yaris or something. And I heard you just need to widen the existing hole behind the wiper to fit another wiper is this true?

some bolt straight on. think fiar marea is one that does.
people have used punto ones, but they don't clear as big an area as you'd hope for.
i used a zafira one which needs filling, then re-drill, and a bit of file action to make the hole conical again. not too much effort, and looks a whole load better.
you can have mine for a tenner delivered if you want it. just needs re-working because i used body filler instead of metal filler.

I know it's a bump, but saves creating a new thread.
If replacing with a Fiat Marea wiper, do you change it from outside the car or do you need to take the hatch interior plastics off?
Cheers

Can be changed from outside, Remember and have some WD40 as the old ones can be seized on.

And how much can you get them from Fiat for?
I found this on eBay which seems pretty good value!
