14N Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 ...... I can recommend these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360299341491? ... 1497.l2649 I recently replaced mine (I needed 1x front and the rear one) and for the sake of a tenner for a set of all 3, I thought I'd give 'em a go. I really can't fault them. In the heavy rain we've had recently, they've performed really well at all speeds (up to 70 mph naturally officer). Just thought I'd pass this on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I got some of eBay not so long ago to, it mite even be the same eBay item. So far can't fault them +1 frome me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Got the same ones myself, been posted on here before - great for the money! Flat blades look a lot 'neater' to me too. Only slight issue I have is the rear clip needs pressing back in every now and then, seems to work its way loose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have these exact wipers on my car. They do work well, look nice and are a good price - but my set have an odd characteristic that they seem to exude white powder or crud from the rubber, which takes a bit if scraping to get off usually (and it keeps coming back). I've no idea if that is common to these particular blades or if mine were a friday afternoon batch - I've never had blades do that before. I figured it's because they are very cheap. I was thinking of getting Bosch aero blades next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or someone in your 'hood has seen how good the wipers are at scraping flat surfaces and are using them to make really long lines of coke! (Not the sugary drink variety) instead of the 'conventional' credit card method At least they put them back when they're finished! *NB.

coldel Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Forked out on Bosch Aeros myself, in the grand scheme of upgrading the car £25 isnt a big a deal - had them a year, and still going strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting Bosch aero blades next time. Don't worry you're not going crazy. Mine on the 350z do this aswell. Its on the topside of the blade so doesn't affect the performance of the wiper but looks pants. I have no idea what causes it. At first i thought it was just polish that i may have splashed onto them when getting a bit over enthusiastic but then i noticed it when i hadn't polished the car. Its a weird one. I have these wipers on other cars too but don't get the same problem ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcw1982 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Received and fitted, plenty of rain about to test them as well. Work well at speed, annoying squeak at low speed though. Dont come with the spoiler bit, not sure if you need that seem to work ok without. But for £7, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've been using the Valeo Silencio xtreme's and they seem quite good. Decently priced for silicone wipers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 My drivers side has a wind deflection gizmo on it, do these come with that on? Can't tell from picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 No they don't come with a spoiler/wind deflector. Mine are still performing well and I can't really fault them, especially for the money. The only time I've found they've squeaked, is when the windscreen is virtually dry, but it's only a quite squeak and to be expected with a dry ish screen.
