FORD PERFORMANCE SUNSTRIP

[Ap_Rsmk3]

Hi guys,

I’m looking to order a Ford performance suntrip, I have noticed the window wipers reach to the top of the car? How would you go about this as they will encroach the suntrip.

Would I need to get smaller blades?

Thank you in advance.

Doesn’t make any difference,the wipers will simply go over the sun strip without damaging it.I had one on my mk3 st & was 270mm without any problems.

Doesn’t affect or interfere with performance of wipers installed one last Year never had a issue

Have read somewhere it’s a mot fail if wipers touch the sunstrip

I had a phone call today from furrows saying my sun strip needed to be removed as it is classed as a major defect on the MOT, so off it came 😬

@Tomcat,,I am a mot tester,if it’s not obstructing the view of the road it’s not a fail.Tell the tester he needs to read the manual.3.1 field of vision

@Tyrefitter  Which is exactly what the Ford Tech said to me pre-mot last year when I dropped my car off.

Don’t take it to Furrows,my old ST passed with one on.
