Bah! Just how rubbish are flat windcreen wipers!!
Mine were knackered so bought some flat aerotwin type ones for my bug - god they're awful - miss loads of bits of the screen. Mine were own brand ones from autobulbs direct - unless I'm being so thick that I'm unable to change a set of wipers then you should avoid!

Agreed Mike! I bought a set of flat wipers after always using PIAA silicone one's, then I was drawn in by a wiper review in Auto Express! I will never buy them again.

Depends on the wiper i have these and find them to be excellent.
Nissan Primera 96-02 RETRO FIT AERO Flat Wiper Blades on eBay, also Wipers, Washers Jets, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 04-Mar-09 22:09:39 GMT)
Granted 20" rather than 19" but still work very well.

I got the Bosch aerofoil flat thingys on my classic and they are really good. Never tried the PIAA ones but if there half as good as there bulbs then they should be really good.
