PIAA ones smear tho , they have that silly coating you have to put on your windscreen

Ford ones for me , nice and cheap and have a little thing telling me when to change them

i read up on these PIAA wipers - theyre made out of silicone which when installed for the first time should be used dry for about 5 minutes so it coats the windscreen with silicone too... you have to repeat this procecss every few months to make sure the windscreen is constantly coated! sounds like high maintenence and id probably be liable to forget!

essentially i need something that does a good job and it appears the consensus say Bosch? need to do this tomorrow i think, the car goes in for its service soon and id rather not give Honda the opportunity to rip me off

I have NEVER allowed Honda to service my Honda Accord. They overcharge by too much. Wanted £300 +VAT for a 36month service, had it done at another garage, full service with new wiuper blades supplied. I got Bosch this time. £150 + VAT. Much more affordable. Honda = Nice motors - Rip off service charges.

the car is 3 yrs old this year.. would like to keep up the manufacturers sevice history

yowserctr on the CTR forums has been designing wipers for 9 years.... he roundly pans both Champion and Trico wipers, I personally take his word for it.

what does this mean - are they good or bad makes?
