new flat style wipers

[custard]

the ones available on ebay as 'upgrades' for cars with older style wipers fitted.
anyone used them and got any feedback?
just wondering how the perform?

i was just gonna order normal bosch ones but am tempted by these ones.
usually i dont buy cheaper wipers as experience has shown mer the usually squeak or dont wipe well

Go for the bosch aerotwin flat wipers there great , i had some cheaper ebay flat wipers and they where rubbish

The boschaero twin retro fit are fantastic custard worth every penny.

It will sound strange now but when you get them you will realise how quiet they are.

i got some of these and they are good but i got wrong size so they make noises and miss bits:

Had some Bosch ones on the Stilo from here:

They're very good and not to pricey either

Previously had cheap things from ebay and they were sh*t, squeaked and smeared all the time :yuck:

Got them on some of the fleet. £7.99 each from Wilco/fast fit. And are really good

went to the same place as you dogspods got some valeo ones which are still going are very quiet and v.efficent at getting rid of water...although dont take off the black tape for the need changing indicator things mine went yellow for change after a month....mainly because i detail the car alot

 

[custard]

hmm may just go for normal bosch. :chin:
ive got the MOT coming up and im loathed to pay over £25 for those aero twins before i know the full extent of MOT fail i will suffer

[custard]

ive got aerotwins, they're only as a good as a set of new normal bosch ones would've been i think.

:yeahthat:

although at speed, i think they are marginaly better tbh, but it is only marginal. id get standard bosch ones

I've got the flat ones from Tesco - £4 and they perform brilliantly, even at speed.
Thing is, I always change mine spring and autumn - hot summer sun can melt them a bit so sticking the rubbers to the screen and cold winters will freeze the rubbers to the screen, screenwash doesn't do the rubbers much good either.
I've tried dearer ones but find that after a while, their performance deteriorates & it is an expensive replacement, hence my going for cheaper alternatives. The really cheapo ones do a decent job when new but deteriorate too fast. The ones with wind deflectors on travel over the screen way too fast at speed.
