Have the BOSCH ones on my Boxster and they arent all that good, judder a bit and skip across the windscreen for some reason :S

I've just ordered some of the Bosch Aero's for £30 :/

I hope they're not ****

My mistake, I was thinking of a bulb website

It's listing 2005-2012 Yaris, does the sizes on that page not match your car?

Euro car parts return a 24"/13" combo for Left/Right.

Wiperblades.co.uk returns the French Build one a 24"/15" combo.

Looks like I will just buy them single and separately.

Love mine on my MX5, Bosch Aero blades from ebay or something equally cheap (£15 mark?)

They do a fine job as anything else I've ever had at pushing water off a piece of glass.

Can anyone comment on the Halfords own brand flat wiper blades?

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_263193_langId_-1_categoryId_165620

The set on there at the minute are shocking and I'd like to replace them today.

Halfords are expensive, no?

Fitted a pair of these to my car yesterday, the difference (even coming from PIAA wipers) was impressive. Perfect screen clearance and no wiper noise that I could hear.

Are those the Bosch ones Durzel?

Durzel · 10 Jul 2012 at 12:13

Yeah, the Bosch ones.

Another vote for Valeo retro-flat blades, the ones I bought are the rediculously named "Valeo Silencio X.TRM", they also do some cheaper ones but not tried them.

Ignore the UV "wear detector" sticker though.

I bought some valeo ones from halfords. The edges either side dont touch the screen but the part that does touch is perfect. Any ideas?

Nice one, I'll see how I get on with them, I was offered the Veleo ones as a replacement as they didn't have the Bosch in stock but I'm hanging on for delivery so just wanted to check!

wiperblades.co.uk

Still not got the bloody Bosch specific fits in stock, been well over a week now :/

Not their fault but they are also sending me the Valeio's as an alternative and throwing in a rear blade as well FOC

Good job wiperblades.co.uk!
