FYI I've just had my second Lucas wiper blade fall apart. Both were bought at the same time and in each case the blade broke away from the plastic bit that attaches to the pivoting bit (sorry, can't think how to express it better than that). The first failed a few months ago without warning when at speed in the dark on the motorway; there was a bang and then the arm was scraping on the windscreen, sans wiper. Today there was a subtle click as the wipers stopped, the blade detached when I turned them on again. The replacements are Bosch, which seem to have metal attachments. Odd to have 2 fail in 40+ years of driving and for these to have been bought at the same time. I can feel a complaint coming on.
