Anyone know where to get these MUDSTUFF.CO.UK, SilBlade, Land Rover Defender Solutions: West Yorkshire (http://mudstuff.co.uk/SilBlades.shtml) , or any other silcone wiper blades for an 05 Defender? My local Supercheap doesn't stock any blades that are short enough for my car.

Also, It seems my wipers are stopping a little bit short when they reach the end of their arc. Is there anyway to extend this arc a little bit, so they don't stop about 6 inches short (at the top) in the middle of the windscreen?

I've always cut new wiper blades down to the correct length on every car I've owned. :p

Is buying direct from them not an option ?

Shipping shouldn't be too high.

Use std silicone blades from any parts shop, cut them down...

And use the application of rain-X on the glass....

Most auto shops sell it. There's 2 types, one you wipe on the windscreen, and one you add to the washer water. Not sure which one's better. Not bad stuff - apparently Mr Sheen works well also. They both help the water bead up and roll away. Essential for my full-face helmet when I used to ride a motorbike.
