I had converted to DI blades, but one was bent at a car wash. I ordered the kit from Atlantic British and they are great. I had been using extra spring clip deals to get pressure. I had no ideas the springs on wiper arms worn out, I guess that makes sense.
if you have not done this, do it ASAP!
Extra spring clips? I've got the Atlantic British D1 wipers and have noticed that pressure has been lacking. Would love to fix that if I can.

They are called surewipe springs. How old are your wiper arms? I have the best Bosch wipers on with the new AB arms and the pressure is adequate. I’d get new arms before the springs. Not really much more expensive than good wiper blades.

They're about 2 years old. The issue I have is when using the newer beam blade wipers there isn't enough pressure on the middle of the blade to wipe away water (or snow/slush), so I've had to keep to the more traditional framed wiper blades. I'll have to check out Surewipe. Thanks!

i have the same problem with my AB d1 wipers and Bosch icon (18A I think - whatever the oreillys computer said works with a 97 D1). Maybe an inch longer blade would work better?

I have the Bosch Icons on, and the new AB arms are doing a great job with pressure. I found the extra clips to be annoying when trying to clean your windshield, or in a snowstorm. You can’t just fold them up.

Installed Terrafirma 3" Lift on my 2004 Disco HSE7
A break in the Vancouver rain allowed me to install my Terrafirma 3" lift on my 2004 Disco HSE7. Messed it up on the rear DS side so fixed the coil that was upside down and completed the rest to give me a nice lift to fit my 32" Wildpeak ATV3 today.
- Question #1 - what do people do with the air-bag feeder tube after? Its currently sitting on top of the spring tower.
- Question #2 - I now have full-time Three Amigos, perhaps I overextended the ABS lines?? Guess I'll have to scan it? People have mentioned I need to reset SLABS, why?

Reason: Questions
Finally got my new tires on - Falken Wildpeak AT3 (275/65/18). I was expecting it to look more dramatic, guess that's what you get for sticking with 18" wheels. Going to need some spacers to stop the rubbing - any suggestions on 1/4" spacers or any will do??
