It was that plastic cover that goes over the whole blade that gives the most trouble. I expect if I was changing them every day I would get the right technique, but I was glad I had already researched it on other people's KZbin videos. If I hadn't checked I would probably have broken it.

Thanks, I didn't get it quite right, somebody pointed out my mistake so I pinned their comment and added it to my video description. Unfortunately, over the years it looks like the guy has removed his comment or left KZbin. Luckily I had copied it and added it to the video description. If you missed it, here it is - Mark Paul has sharp eyes and commented "when you go to fit the rear wiper blade make sure you turn the blade around so the cover fits properly not like this one on the video clip as the blade is sticking out at the end". I hadn't noticed, must be my poor eyesight. I have corrected it now. In fact you can't just turn it round, you have to pop the plastic clip out first and reverse it otherwise the clip doesn't seat properly, but easy enough to do. 😊

There were no directions for the rear blade, and I was frustrated with the black plastic cover until I found your video 😃. Great stuff 👍🏽

I guess some of the parts might be manufactured here, you never know nowadays, but I doubt it was even assembled in the UK. It is very difficult to get a straight answer when you try googling a simple question like "What Vauxhall cars are made in the UK". I did find this handy little item - Vauxhall - Owned by France's Groupe PSA (Citroen, Peugeot, DS) since 2017

Just tried fitting Bosch 251 wiper blade on our Mokka rear screen but if you turn the wiper around ,as Mark Paul suggests the fitting is then upside down and is unable to clip in the hole??? Yes the blade fits but its not secure .If you measure the Original blade its a couple of cms shorter than the replacement Bosch one.

@GrandadIsAnOldMan 2 жыл бұрын
Not sure what your problem was, but he was 100% correct. At 03:23 the way I am holding it, there is a hole to the right of the pivot. You need to turn the wiper round so that hole is on the left of the pivot. After reading his comment I went out to my car, took it off and swapped it over. It fitted perfectly and has been working fine ever since. Perfectly secure, no problems. In fact after reading your comment, I just went out in the rain and double checked what I had done. This video is just short of a year old and it has been working fine since fitting it last July.

Just thinking, you need to flip the pivot over so it points the opposite way, so it all aligns correctly, maybe you didn't do that.

I was 'amused' when I had it MOT'd last time. Wipers are usually the sort of thing most garages will tell you they "had to replace to get it through" as it is an easy item for them to add to the bill to inflate it, but the car apparently sailed through the MOT with no problems. I had pre-checked the wipers myself and decided they would need changing and was surprised when they were not on the bill. So I decided to let "a professional" do it for a change and went to Halfords. It was painful to watch and they didn't have the rear wiper in stock. Looks like I will go back to DIY in future.

Good to know how to change the wiper. We got a Moka about three months ago. So far it seems to be a good running car compared to the Vauxhall Crossland which we had previousy. I found it surprising it had no handbrake lever, just the pull-up tab, and the auto-release handbrake when you pull away. One thing I don't like about it is the driver's assistance feature which I always turn off. It has a thing where the steering wheel gets jerked to keep you in the right lane. The first time it happened to me I really got a fright. They should never have messed with the steering. If you need all this "drivers assist" set-up you should not be driving, in my opinion. Other than that it is a good car.
@GrandadIsAnOldMan
@GrandadIsAnOldMan 3 жыл бұрын
Sounds like yours is newer than mine, I don't have those features. My daughter's Vauxhall has that funny handbrake tab. Mine does have 'hill start assist' where it sticks the handbrake on whether you like it or not. And it has the 'stop start' technology where it switches the engine off when you are stationary. It has done that several times when I am in motion but I have dipped the clutch briefly, very close to causing an accident a couple of times.

@mikeflight9 3 жыл бұрын
@@GrandadIsAnOldMan Yes, it is a 2021 model but I still do not like this driver assist feature. Especially when it mucks about with the steering. Other than that it is a great car. It has pretty good acceleration which kicks in the turbo when you are in 2nd 3rd and 4th gear. Has 6 gears altogether. The first time we have bought a brand new car so we will see how well it does as time goes by. I was always dubious about buying a new car but she wanted to go for it and I won't argue anymore. 🤐👍

Really shocked, was making the same, if you are buying this type of Bosch wiper it is not suitable in that very position for changing, because it is bigger than original.. to make it work you need to remove plastic hook holder on the wiper and reinstall it in the middle position, without it you will never suit this wiper under protection cap. Correct your description, because it is not correctly written what to do, remove and reinstaling hook holder is another video story, that's why thumb is down. Also the same story on chevy trax, Buick encore and this mokka.
