What wiper blades do people fit to newage cars as mine are due for changing and i'm not sure whether to try the aero ones or stick with bosch, etc

piaa ones are supposed to be good but they're flipping expensive

can't say i have tryed the piaa's but it is hard to beat a set of bosch,lot better than standard thats for sure.

PIAA for me, and I'm on my third set over 2 cars. The refills are cheaper than buying it all again as well.

PIAA here too, superb blades, made from silcone so they leave an invisable coating on the screen which gives the same effect as having Rain X on the screen

swifty.....!

piaa blade here too best ones i've ever had wont use anything else. cost more but you'l always be able to see no matter how heavy the rain gets! i also use there windscreen washer mix

simscooby

aero blades are good thats for sure but i tend to stick with the bosch spoiler ones, there good and look cool too

Aero blades without a doubt - you'll never look back after trying these! Only £30 too!

Piaa wipers are well worth the extra

I've just fitted the PIAA ones.

I got them from the US because they're half the price there.

They work very well at wiping but I'm yet to see the effects of the silicone residue - how long should I have to wait, anyone?

i didn't know Subaru had there own aero blades?

i've had them on VAG cars which seemed to work ok so i might try them on this 1

thanks for the replies

I have used everything - from BOSCH, Halfords and Poundshop/Tesco rubbish - and, without doubt, the best blades I have used (so much so that I keep a stock in the garage) are these, at £2:99 for a PAIR!!!!

Lidl Online

They are really fantastic all round - and at that price you can afford to replace every winter!!

dpb

All right on Pikey Petes CLASSIC .!!

Bosch aero were excellent on another car and had a set on the Scoob. They juddered badly at the end of each sweep. Thought about replacing them with PIAA but was shocked by the price, so bought another set of Bosch. They also judder. Right PITA, so am now going to splash out on PIAAs.

BTW, ours is a MY05 -- anyone else had this problem?

PIAA's on my classic, they're great but expensive

Bug Eyed Peas

PIAA on mine too. Expensive, but cheaper than other mods on your Scoob

PIAA all the way mate, super smooth and quiet too, best I've ever used

robby

the cheapest i can find PIAA online are £35 + postage for a pair!

where does everone else get them?

MaDaSS

I have got PIAA but will try Aero next. THe PIAA have a habit of smearing or giving the appearance of smearing on the screen. You get used to it but its a pain. The way they work though is awesome at speed. You can safely drive with them off and the rain just disappears from the screen, superb. Oh, and my PIAA ones judder at the end of the stroke.
Will still try Aero next though. LOL

pslewis

You lot have more money than sense

£35 for some Wipers

Priceless ........

Aero blades from Subaru dealer

...that's because the little pouch that piaa give you has a small cloth inside which is soaked in a rain-x type substance.
I bought some piaa's for both mine and my Dad's car a couple of years back and was a bit suss about the pouch, so i only applied it to my car and not my Dads. Well guess what - my window beaded off the rain nicely but we are still waiting for my Dad's to do the same. Wipers which coat the surface of the glass in silicon my ****

Brun

......buy wipers for a third of the price of piaa's - replace twice as often, and use rain-x - buy beer with the money left in your back pocket

Just fitted a pair of Halfords own brand, half the price of the Bosch ones and seem to do the job OK.

PIAAs here. On my second pair now, the first pair lasted 4 years, which was twice as long as any other pair I'd had.

Same here (well, first set lasted 5 years) ...& then bought replacement blades @ £9 iirc

pslewis

So, the LIDLS £2:99 wipers I use and replace annually, are damned excellent value.

These PIAA's last 5 years which is good - but £35, that's bad! My LIDLS choice would last 11 1/2 years if looked at on cost alone!

I cannot get over £35 .................
