Evenin.

I'm due some new wiper blades on the old scoob. Whats the best to go for. I was thinking boch from halfords, but also though PIAA but they seem pricey. Do they last longer?

What else is there?

You should buy the new flat blade from Valeo. It gets rid of the chunky and visible metal, is more aerodynamic and opens up new possibilities in style.

Melina, would it be correct to think that you are PR for Valeo?

My last set were Bosch ones from Halfords and they were quuite frankly rubbish. I changed them to PIAA ones and they are fantastic. They leave silicon on the windows so the water beads really well meaning that you don't need to use them as much. I was amazed at the difference.

I bought a set of PIAA blades, and the drivers side blade only lasted two weeks before it broke. They would NOT answer any emails regarding this. Anyway the passenger side blade is still on the car with a Halfords one on the drivers side. I will never again buy PIAA blades.
