    elabrate on this...could they be fitted to a corsa id the blades were shortened?
    could be worth a try?
    also could the washer jets be connected up somehow?

    I think it is the nozzle on the end of the washer pipe which is clamped to the wiper arm. If you get hold of a couple of 405 wiper arms you can see the easiest way to get them onto yours I should imagine.

    basically the pipes going to the back of your current washer jets (on your bonnet), you attach to the new piece of rubber tubing, and clip the "spray bar" to your original wipers

    You can see here, the rubber pipes running up the wipers to clip onto the blades:

    How do they compare in use to regular jets. Are they better, or worse?

    Alot lot lot better!

    As they're are about 6 "jets" per wiper blade, gets thru loads of water, but at the pace it comes out - it blasts bugs etc off, as it's so close to the windscreen itself.

    looks good. so the pipe actuallr runs up along side the wiper arm!
    prob could be attached netly some how to the wiper arm so to keep all tidy!
    and there standard wipers!?

    Never liked them, but the menition of 'power' thing has changed my mind. My bonnet washers are so feeble as well. I have two sets if anyone wants to buy one pair off me.

    sorry have no close up pictures,and dont have the car any more.but, very straight forward,run the pipes up through the scuttle panel,tie wrap them to th wiper arm (or use the proper clips from a movano)clip the jets on, job done.

    You could even DIY it, just involves a pipe re-routed to the wiper arms into jets.
