I put Bosch ones on mine about 6 months ago, and can categorically state that they are THE worst wiper blades I've ever had!
Unless everything is spotless, forget it: all you get is streaks, lift off, and general bad wiping.
When I remember, I'll buy some better ones.................

I've had a few sets of dodgy wipers on mine. Last service my dealer fitted new ones and they've suberb. Turns out they're Unipart ones

After 2 sets of Bosch wipers, i have finally binned them, they did not clean the windscreen above 70mph and @ 80+mph they whistled, and drove me insane.

Now have a set of PIAA wipers on and they are fantastic

Yep... put a set on two weeks ago. Passenger side not too bad (the original was split) but the drivers side is hopeless at speed, ok at low speed but rubbish when you get moving. So I've put the old drivers side one back on (it was just squeeking a bit). At least it clears the screen. Bought some for my sisters Skoda a while back and she's complaining as well! Think they've lost the plot, because they used to be good kit.

BOSCH ones are the ones in the Pound Shop - dont bother!!

Halfords are pretty good I reckon!?

Neither Bosch nor Halfords ones worked for me, so I (reluctantly) bought a set from a Subaru dealer. They work, the others did not. I think they cost about £15 though.

Get piaa ones, they leave a film of silicon on your screen and make the rain fly off without having to use them that much.

Where can u get them from?? And roughly how much??

p1 tud

demon tweeks - about £20 i think. i use rain x so i never need wipers

worley

I bought some Bosch wipers and I found that the spoiler caused a flat spot at speed (70-80 mph) and when dropping down to 30 mph they were absolutely useless.

Need to change them soon, but I hardly ever go 30 mph!

JonnyT

Cheers Tud.
Rain x works then??
Thought it was a myth! :rolleyes

Is it just Demon Tweeks that do the PIAA ones ?

I fitted Bosch a month ago and found the same over 80mph (a flat patch on the driver's side) but it seems to have improved now.

i know co-or-sport sell the piaa wiper so do piaa on ther site , demon tewwks are not that competitivte on there prices

WRXBOB

Every car I've owned for the past 10 yrs (and a bit longer) I have fitted Unipart wiper blades.
I normally pay about 7 or 8 quid for a pair from the Rover dealer I used to work at.

Cant fault them

interesting... my classic could do high speed with no wiper problems, my MY02 seems to struggle to clwear the screen at anything over 85
