Title: Wipers
Post by: 2 of the left on October 10, 2012, 23:11
I'm finding the wipers failing to clear the screen - So what's the consensus on the best available ( In fact I've noticed the passenger side blade not actually contacting the screen at the outer limit of the swipe!!) - As Winter and MOT approaches I need replacements for my 2 - ONLY the best!!

Def rate the above linked "aero wipers" they are super bendy so stick to the windscreen and get every bit of water off it!!

Don't forget thyat the passenger side should be 1" shorter than the drivers side. I f you put a 20" on the passenger side you will see the far end doesn't touch the curve of the screen. I know 'cos I have 2 x 20" on mine  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Bought a set of these last week and they are going in the bin as soon as the Bosch Aerotwin replacements arrive. Clip keeps coming loose on one and nothing will persuade it to lock down. First time I noticed it the wiper blade had nearly worked itself off.

I have had bosch aerotwins on for about 2 months, got a good deal, about £16 I think. They are quality wipers.

Not exactly a wrong way to fit them is there! The clips are a very poor fit.
