Wipers for 1995 146 Boxer

Does anyone know of an online shop where I can get a pair of front wipers for a 1995 146 boxer? These are the non-detachable type - EuroParts quotes a Champion replacement for a 1995 146, but I looked at these and they are not right as they assume you can detach the blade from the arm.

Re: Wipers for 1995 146 Boxer

Not sure if this will be any use to you but apparently the Mk 1 146's will take wiper arms off either a Volvo 440 or a Mk 2 Cavalier. I'm going to give it a go for my 1997 1.6TS because my arms are badly rusted and it will allow me to use the generic kits e.g. Champion, Bosch in future.

I replaced the rubber on these a couple of years ago, but it only lasted a short while. I have owned two alfasuds, a 33 and a 75 and all these had normal wipers. I'll have a look at the Volvo 440 ones and see if this does the trick.

ring alfashop on 01603 426277 and ask for the "conversion" wiper arms and separate blades,
they are fantastic but cost around £70 the pair,
also volvo 440 arms fit nice too.

Re: Wipers for 1995 146 Boxer

I bought the Volvo arms and they were useless, whether the correct ones were fitted to the Volvo.....

just buy arms off a facelift 145/146, as these take Bosch or similar standard fit wipers. A Bravo may o as a cheaper alternative as they appear the same and are easier to find in yards.

I went to the scrap yard with the front pair of wipers and found that the Vectra from '92 (could be other years) was a good match. These take standard refills.
