A unique retro-clip adaptor makes replacing standard wipers with flat blades a simple task, simplifying vehicle maintenance and allowing for added safety and protection during the rainy season.

These Easyvision wipers with retro clip from Champion® are available locally from Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a leading global supplier of products and services to global manufacturers and servicers of vehicles and equipment in a range of sectors.

The retro clip adaptor has been designed specifically to take advantage of the improved design, look, and efficiency of modern flat-blade windscreen wipers, Federal Mogul Motorparts Technical Advisor Albertus Steyn highlights. Champion® Easyvision wipers with retro clip are engineered to enable the transition from standard to flat blades. A symmetrical design, blade curvature, and precision-engineered flexors provide good mobility and improved driver visibility.

Steyn points out that Easyvision wipers will also improve the look of any car, as flat blades are more visually appealing than conventional wipers. In addition, 90% of car makes are catered for with just 11 part numbers. This means a no-hassle universal fit, straight from the packaging. Durable construction allows for low friction due to a low-noise coated rubber element. Clear part numbering and QR codes mean that website support is a click away.

“Drivers only discover that their windscreen wipers are ineffective with the first heavy downpour, which poses a significant safety risk while on the road,” Steyn explains. Apart from blurred vision due to patches or smears to distracting noises, and even blades that will not turn properly, it also causes problems for the mechanical components of the wiper system, with potential damage to the wiper motor.

Steyn summarises: “Easyvision high-quality symmetric flat blades are precision-engineered to provide a quiet, efficient wiping action and are simple to install. For car owners with standard blades who want to take advantage of aerodynamic flat blade technology, our Easyvision retro clip connectors make this essential upgrade hassle-free. Our standard bridge-style wipers are cost-effective, good-quality, and long-lasting. Featuring Easy Clip connectors, they can be attached in moments. For the rear window, Easyvision offers three part numbers, with plastic wipers on popular applications.”
