Hi,

I have a new 1.5 Sport on order and it comes with standard wipers.  Having got used to aero continuous contact wipers I want to change them straightaway.

I have found a few links on the web but I am unclear as to which ones will fit correctly.

Has anyone fitted this type of wiper and where did they get them please?

I got mine from WiperBlades.co.uk

I bought their own brand ones and haven't got a bad thing to say about them. Cheesy

Their search for the Mazda 2 seems to be borked at the moment, but these are what I ordered for my 2:

Passenger side: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/search-by-code/?Code=wb5-16&Ref=prod-code

Drivers side: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/search-by-code/?Code=wb5-24&Ref=prod-code

Hope this helps.

I also tried Halfords but they drew a blank.

Thanks,Smthers.  If you have tried those and they work for you then that's good enough for me.  At that price they are worth a punt.

They are good. I've had them on my 2 since March and have had no juddering / squawking / streaking at all.

Highly recommended!  Grin

I got this reply from wiperblades.co.uk:

We have now been given information from Bosch that the AR607s Aerotwin blades are compatible to fit your vehicle and are now listed on our website.

19" definitely won't fit the passenger side.

16" does fit and comes right to the edge of the windscreen - so how the hell they think 19" is going to fit is anyones guess.

And yes, the 16" is bigger than the OEM wiper but is does fit.  Grin

These are the blades I ordered as listed in the confirmation email when I ordered mine in March:

Passenger side: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/search-by-code/?Code=wb5-16&Ref=prod-code

Drivers side: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/search-by-code/?Code=wb5-24&Ref=prod-code

Any more questions just ask away.  Wink

EDIT: Picture of measured blade....



And yes I know, my 2 is in need of a damn good wash!  Tongue
