[frys_bongo]

hi, i brought a 2.5l mazda bongo yesterday, im new to the bongo`s but always liked them..........
im wondering if anyone can help me regarding wiper blades for it, is there an alternative to bongo`s ones i can use as my local garage has told me it take about 2 weeks to replace them.


Thank you

Welcome to the madhouse
Are you sure you can trust your garage - it is pretty obvious that they are just normal blades
As Rita says, you can get them just about anywhere.

Not our Bongo but when we were in Suffolk we had our little Suzuki swift serviced by a local garage.....excellent job and reasonable price.
As part of the service they renewed the wiper blades with Bosch blades....now Bosch = posh.
However after a short while it was obvious that the new blades were not up to scratch...skipping...missing in parts...etc.
We replaced them with some cheap Wipac blades which we purchased from Trago Mills when we were in God's chosen land ( Cornwall ).
We were amazed at the difference.....so don't be put off by the cheaper blades..they do work well.
I would also recommend using Rain-X.as many members on here have done in the past...it really does make a difference...seems expensive but will last for ages...still got some left after 3 years of use.

PS What is your location ?..it often helps that local Bongoliers would help you out

good old trago mills! i buy 22" refills there for less than a couple of quid which then gives me 4 blade changes for my suzuki samurai...bargain! i've always found champion blades very good for the money too.
