I remember when I was mis-guided & had a dimma strip, the wipers used to foul the strip & it showed as it actually wore the strip down, yet the test station I took mine passed it ok, they werent fussed tbh, even with a shagged wheel bearing! | |

I had a border around the full windscreen of my cav on the inside and they made me take it off.... it did'nt obscure the wiper path... :mad: Ill always wonder if the fact that the MOT man caught me with his daughter have anything to do with it:boggle: somethings are best left unsaid:lol: | |

Nope, The rule is that NOTHING is allowed in the swept area of your windscreen (ie the bit the wipers sweep over). I know cos the MOT guy that failed me told me | |

if it covers more than 8 inches of the screen (depth that it, not the length) it will fail. | |

if the wiper touch the lettering at all when on or vertical (same thing really, lol) it should fail for it. If it does they will just take em off n u can get new ones put on. | |

I've not got one, but from what i've heard, provided your sunstrip/lettering doesnt come below the tip of your wiper when its vertical, you're ok... | |
