Get the wiper blades with the plastic spoilers on . normaly on drivers side only , this spoiler which normaly clips onto the blade or comes as part of it stops the blades lifting from the screen at speeds.

Best wipers I've ever used - tops Bosch/own brands/aeros etc. Plus benefit of leaving silicone residue that helps to bead water off the screen at speed. Never buy anything else now.

As above, I have Bosch Aero wipers off my old Vectra on the Scoob, and they are great.
They are getting to the stage of replacing now after 5+ years, so not bad value really at £6 a year.

Anyone got a link to these PIAA wipers, interested to have a look.
