Magic Vision Wiper Blades
Two questions:
1. Has anyone been successful in replacing just the rubber wipers instead of the entire blade assembly?
2. Has anyone purchased a set from FPCEuro and been successful obtaining a free replacement set?

2. Yes
FCP doesn't give you a free replacement. They reimburse the purchase price of the new one (or maybe the first one) as a store credit.

I took an old one apart only a few days ago and I think it'd be a struggle to just replace the rubber blade, at least on the heated ones, not sure about unheated. The rubber blade has some cut out sections in the middle that fit around the electrical connectors so you can't just pull a new rubber through from one end, you'd have to try and fit the middle part in first then work outwards to get the rest of the insert in place. Taking them apart is easy as the end caps pull off outward. I'll try and take some pictures later.
