and I can't use the pins that were in the old ones as they don't fit

I have e-mailed the seller and am waiting his response

Steve,

Try James Paddocks in chester they have the original one last time I checked but only the shorter one of the two but still works ok.

Steve - the two blades on the TR7 are not same length anyway - so these blades are not correct - well, one of them is! I picked up new blades at one of the car shows - probably Thirlestane - last year - and they worked fine. Just standard blades - not fancy 'flat' ones! I have it on good authority that it's going to be a very dry summer - so you won't need the wiper blades anyway!

Hi Steve,

I bought those wiper blades and they worked great for me a definite upgrade.

My OEM blades were different lengths - as they should be - so they matched perfectly fine. However! I seem to remember having to get a round file out and rubbing the holes a bit to get my pins through, easy done though!

Stevie, I always buy the original equipment ones from James Paddock, like Jim says they only have the shorter of the 2, hardly noticeable . The reason why they work so good is that the pin is actually part of the wiper itself rather than a pin pushed into the arm which will wear after a while. I have a spare pair of new pins if they will help, send me your address and Il post them.
