Have heard that the PIAA silicone wipers are very good - http://www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipers.asp
People who work in Halfords are idiots though![]()
You can buy them from wilkinsons for £1.79 each, and they last 6-9 months. Bosch ones cost considerably more, but only last 2-3 times as long. They both have the same performance and work just as well.
Buy cheap, and buy more.

Ten quid and they'll last 3 times as long, I'll happily pay that premium to get 18-32 months out of them between changes.
Do you actually get that long out of them before they just smear and become useless?

Bosch Wipers are good at the start, but then start smearing really bad after just 3-4months. Really looking for a different make, but PIAA are really expensive and hard to find.
I have these, they are awesome, ignore the "wear indicator" though.I remember buying some Valeo Aerotwin jobs from www.wiperblades.co.uk for the Saab and for the MG. Great blades, lasted ages- Will be ordering some soon for the Coupe!
