With the request from the owner, installing the windshield lower molding with new yellow clip.
Not sure how the molding was removed because people normally pull it towards the front rather than pressing to the ground so the molding already took a set and there is small gap against the windshield but with the help of heat, should settle in the future.

With the age and heat, some of the clips used at the air scoop was not re-usable.
No point in using the cheap aftermarket ones at the place where the thermal shock is huge.
Always use OEM one or equivalent quality one for here.




The owner brought the replacement wiper rubber but it’s too long.
I think it’s for the JDM spec wiper assy and not for the UK one.
Will just return them to the owner.

You need the UK 500mm spec replacement rubber (Y766A-S6M-003 x 2) but it’s GBP10.88 each!! It's just piece of rubber and doesn't include anything else!!

With that price, you may want to get the JDM spec wiper blade assy. The following parts no includes not only the replacement rubber but also the wing, wiper blade metal, wing (driver side only), etc.
It’s 550mm spec so be careful especially you are using the aftermarket bonnet.

76620-SL0-309 (Driver side, 550mm, comes with the wing and the whole blade assy): GBP11.23
76630-SL0-309 (Pass side, 550mm, the whole blade assy): GBP12.26

Normally, they are on back order for many weeks (4 – 8 weeks) as they are shipped from Japan but if you place the order, it will be delivered at earlier timing.




Speaking of aftermarket bonnet, as reported earlier, I can’t set the passenger side wiper arm any lower as it’s already touching the back of the bonnet despite using the OEM wiper parts.
This also changes the position of the driver side wiper arm angle.




New washer nozzle from Japan. They are actually sided so different parts no.
It’s rare colour so thought it’s going to be very expensive but fortunately, it was the same as the rest of the colours so no big drama. No idea why the price is different depending on the colour in UK....
Due to the shadow, it may look darker compared to the bonnet but it's actually good colour match as well.




By the way, if you don’t keep the concentration of the washer fluid at the proper level especially if you don’t use the washer regularly, this is what’s going to happen.
The black slimy bits will block not only the washer nozzle but also the one-way valves as well. I flushed the washer tank three times and still some black bits pumped out using the suction pump…..
Imagine you couild be inhaling this while driving if you set the CCU into fresh mode.....
Potential source of disease so used disinfection chemical and run it through the hose first before flushing.
