Hi, all,
I'm new to the forum. I have a 2016 Smart ForTwo Passion.
I actually rent it out to others via Turo.com. It rents well and I receive many compliments on the car.
Maintenance has been good but parts at the dealer are quite pricey. I'm been using after-market for replacement wear items. Wipers were difficult to locate. The dealer wants $72/pair! I didn't pay that. I did find Bosch sells AeroTwin (?) for my model but they claim it uses a 20" and a 15" blade. My car came equipped with two 20" blades using a 7mm bayonet mount. Bosch does not sell the blades separately. So, I bought two sets which still is less expensive than the dealer's price. That leaves me with two brand-new 15" blades. They are yours for the price of shipping.
Which brings me to my next question: Does anyone have a source for these 20" 7mm bayonet mount blades?
Glad to be on-board. If anyone is interested, here's my listing for my car:
(That didn't work. I guess I have to have more posts to be allowed to include a URL. Anyway, the car is on Turo.)
Thanks,
Chuck
