Flat wipers

Do these flat wipers actually work any better than standard wipers or are they just a styling thing? And are they available for the Marea?

Re: Flat wipers

it was SPARCO flat that i had on the punto..as said the cheapo ones dont seem to last..you get what you pay for i suppose...£14 if i remember for a 24incher... the only issue i had was SPARCO white lettering on the blade ...bit of a target if you know what i mean, so i black penned it out

Re: Flat wipers

all our company cars have them, none of them are safe to use in the rain. they're utter crap.

in my experience they dont work as well as traditional blades even when new, they dont last as long, or even look as good, so wtf is the point of them?

tesco have them cheap at the mo (BOGOF) but i wouldnt fit them even if they were free. i'd rather see in the rain tbh.

Re: Flat wipers

Bravo wipers much better than the wipers on my Marea or Tipo. Croma needs some new ones but even they're still pretty good.
