I brought some new Bosh Supers from Halfords on Saturday.

As note, if you have a spoiler on the drivers side arm, check where it is fitted. Having looked in the Halfords guide and remembered my Scooy has a spoiler, I brough the arm with the spoiler. When fitting, I the noticed the spoiler is fixed to the wiper arm, not the carrier and I had to take the Bosch spoiler off.

If you're going over fifty mph, just treat the screen with Rain Wizard, and you won't need your wipers.
(shocking pink bottle, shaped like a vibrator.....errrr apparently)
6 quid from car accessory shops. As I said, you won't need to turn your wipers on, as the raindrops just roll up and over. Even at slower speeds, the wipers seem to work better, as the rain water miniscusises[1] better, and gets cleared easily.

[1]made up scientific sounding word for goes in to big blobs.
I will never have a car without using it again.

edited to say it being rain wizard, not the scientificy sounding word!

I need to change my wiper blades, what's the general sense of opinion, stay with genuine Subaru at £?? (just spent 10 minutes on hold waiting for a price! Sod em) or go for something else. I thought I had a review in AutoExpress that recommend some Bocsh ones, but cannot find it.

I had my wipers changed when I had new windscreen fitted at autoglass, they used champion ones they seem to be no different to the subaru ones (£5 each)..
still no good above 90mph.

Replaced mine recently, and funnily enough got them from Halfords and they are fine both below and above 90mph. Cheep too, and easy to fit.

Cheers chaps,

I will pop into Halfords and have a look.

Personally, I'd just replace the rubber, not the blade (circa £5 for two). But I did buy a new Bosch blade with spoiler for the passenger side.

Hi Richard i had some subaru wiper blades fitted at my 1 year service the other week.Here is the price i paid one is £12.83 the other is £9.50.Brad

 

I have just put two Bosch blades on with the spoilers and at motorway speeds they still leave the screen. Anyone have another alternative which actually works in the rain at pace??

 

I put Bosch wipers on in the spring - couldn't stop them smearing badly even using Rain-X. Garage put Subaru ones on when servicing it recently and they're perfect

 

Very disappointed with Bosch wipers blades - were good for about 2 weeks only. I've heard that Champion are better.

I have Bosch Twin not bad but after one winter it`s over. Next will be Champion X60 (tested up to 230km/h speed)
