Front wiper blade fitting fail

I bought a Bosch replacement wiper blade but it does not stay in place - am I missing something?

I've included a pic of the fitted blade and taken it apart to show in another pic the pieces and wiper arm

TIA

What's the part number on the blade ? (651U ?) It should have come with a new clip , Do you have the clip the right way around ?

It should just slide into place and the little retainer peg clicks home.

That's the one, only one side has a clip and tab

You've bought a normal blade. You need an aero blade.

That said, i think ours has an upgraded one (only bought car recently). The plastic part clips on the blade then slides into the hook

Thanks for all the replies

Yes, there's a square hole in the arm hook which I thought would receive a matching male square but there's none in the plastic part that slides into the arm hook - so it can easily slide out again.

It's the wrong blade for the Aygo

either 651U or AR26U

 

stop being a tight wad and pay the extra for the correct blade, the better aero twin blade (AR26U) is cheaper than the standard one  😉😉👍

 

Used aceparts loads of times - they are genuine parts and not old stock like some sellers

new blade, spray some glass cleaner on a cloth and wipe the packing grease off the blade install and enjoy
