Wiper Blades??
Where can I get some wiper blades from for my Impreza Type R? Been to halfords but they didn't have the correct ones.

ebay -bosch
|
PIAA silicone the only way to wipe perfection :) http://www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipers.asp
|
I would second the PIAAs. Best wipers I have had in 29 years of motoring.
|
Recent convert to PIAA here. Love it when it rains :D

bosh are sh~t!!!!!!
repalced mine 3 weeks ago and there streaking already. |
No wiper blades will be any good unless both they, and the windscreen, are clean.
During the summer, insect remains on the screen pretty soon cause smears, dirt gathers on the blades which skip and don't clear streaks. Clean wiper blades with a spray of household kitchen cleaner on a paper towel: you'll be surprised at how much muck comes off. |

Michelin Aero flat blades are £11 a set in COSTCO. I have used them on four cars now and they have been brilliant.
PIAA are just trading on their name and are no better or special than Bosch or any other make. Like Bang and Olufsen stuff, inside it's made by Phillips and other companies. Don't believe the hype. |
The PIAA silicones are significantly different to other blades
|
you will not regret it m8 believe me :)
|
Aren't the Type R wipers the same as other classics?
They always have them in Halfords for mine. |

The material is different if you get the silicone ones, no difference on std, basically you have a super rain X effect all the time, and quieter blades.
|
I've been using PIAAs for several years now - thanks for the recommendations, guys! - and they are not only quiter and much more effective than anything else I've had in 30 years of driving, they also work out cheaper.
Driving in the dark, in heavy rain, without wipers on but being able to see perfectly is spooky! |

:wonder:
You've got to see them to believe them, rather than just passing uneducated judgement based on the price. |
If you read my posts I have used PIAA blades but stand by my comments and combined with a good screenwash, like Prestone, you would struggle to tell the difference. So, uneducated no, not a labels man or sheep.

I have just had a set of wipers nicked from my scoob :razz: Luckily I had a set of Bosch spare :) But I wouldn't spend a lot on them as they only un-clip :nono:

They stole your wipers? What a pointless crime! :rolleyes:

Bought PIAA for both my cars a few years back but only used the supplied "glass cleaner" on one of the cars.
After 4 weeks the windscreen would bead water like it did from the first day - the other car without the "glass cleaner" never beaded water in all the time the wipers were fitted! Glass cleaner = Rain X or similar Wipers that coat windscreens in silicon = Bullsh1t Are they any better than Bosch + rain X = No they are worse because you will still have some Rain X left to top up the beading effect ;) |
