Just changed the wipers and got the bespoilered Bosch efforts and they wipe rather well, but using the original spoiler on the wiper arm there is a whistle over 50 mph. There is a spoiler in the pack and I wondered whether to use both -looks rather daft with the thick Scooby one and the thin Bosch one together. The Scooby one does not look easy to remove. Hints please. Didn't think this was clever enough to go in Gen Tech

That whistle is sooo annoying.

Fixed it by taking the blades off the Bosch metal work and putting them on my original Subaru arms.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the large spoiler on the drivers side or not.

They do wipe bloody well though....

Never noticed that on my MY00, replaced the passenger side with a bosch one when it ripped, then seeing it work replaced the drivers side as well, I looked at the wiper before and saw the spoiler was on the arm not the wiper so got a wiper without spoiler. Much better than the OE item, actually removes water

I've got the Bosch ones too, but no whistle (Both spoilers left on)
