2 cans of that with some silicon spray does alright.

Nah the old boy uses some special truck wash thats hella good with degreasing, so will see if he isnt busy on sunday to go over there and wash it out

marcs_sp20 · 15-01-2010, 01:35 PM

my rear wiper arm from the UK finally arrived this morning, so after taking the missus to the doctor this morning I installed it

I recommend this mod, it only cost $26, and the results speak for themselves

And after 2mins it went from this:

to this!

Another shot comparing the two from a distance:

Old:

New:

RustyKaos · 15-01-2010, 07:06 PM

WOW. The new one looks so much cleaner than the old setup. Good job.

marcs_sp20 · 16-01-2010, 04:08 AM

And after trying to use it tonight, I now realise its a Mazda3 item, it hits the spoiler!!!

Not to put it to waste, i'll place it on the Laser as its basically spoilerless...

So disappointed

NaughtyGT · 16-01-2010, 06:22 AM

looking gooody good Marc

RustyKaos · 16-01-2010, 07:27 AM

Thats a bugger about it hitting the spoiler. Could you possibly shorten it?

project.r.racing · 16-01-2010, 11:02 AM

yeah just by looking at the pics it look bigger than the original.

02-KQ-LASR · 16-01-2010, 11:13 AM

looks allright.
pity it doesnt work right though.
how have the other ones fitted before? was it a different model one?

project.r.racing · 16-01-2010, 12:48 PM

mazda 3 one is smaller than the 6s one i think.

phildough · 16-01-2010, 06:40 PM

Looks great Marc.
But from what I have read you are supposed to use the wiper off a 6 wagon(Not a 3 hatch.)and with a little modification to it as well.
Hope it fits the GF's car though.
Im waiting till i need a new blade before I do mine.
Have you swapped the wiper stalk for one off a laser so you get variable intermittent wipers yet?

No way you could shorten it, you need the whole wiper arm..

The US boys use the Mazda 6 wiper, I bought mine off Ebay UK as it said it was for the 323 and was a direct replacement, then in fine writing said not for for the estate. Estate = Wagon/hatch, so I dipped out big time...

Actually the Mazda 3 hatch wiper is 1.5" longer believe it or not!

Nah cant be bothered with the intermittent wiper stalk mod, and the missus dips out on a nice new wiper now too (see what you have done to your car today thread)

02-KQ-LASR · 16-01-2010, 10:29 PM

is the intermittant wiper thing the slider that changes the speed? I have that on mine!! Finally something that the laser has over the sp20! Lol

marcs_sp20 · 17-01-2010, 12:39 AM

No Mazda 323 got the intermittent wiper, only the KN & KQ Laser for some strange reason

70NYD · 17-01-2010, 12:33 PM
