Cemetery Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi guys, quick question having done a search & failed miserably to find the answer The rubber on the end of the passenger side blade & the rear blade are starting to come away (about 2 inches kind flaps away from the blade as it is activated) so I need to replace them & figured I may as well do the whole set. I believe the passenger & rear are both 18" blades & the driver side is 20", is that correct? What blades are recommended and are there any places recommended to get them from that would deliver quickly? I looked on demon tweeks following a search on here (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/wiper-blades/piaa-silicone-wiper-blade and also at the Bosch aerotwin ones as I keep seeing them mentioned just in general) but in ordering it then asks if I want curved, spoiler or standard. I have no idea which I would want? Of course if I can just pop to halfords I can do that but I fancy having something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Bosch blades are excellent, I use them on all vehicles now. Even better than the PIAA normal wipers I used for years, which is saying something. Autobulbs direct are about the cheapest and most reliable supplier these days, I use them when Costco don't have the correct sizes in.

joefrancis04 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Have a quick look on euro car parts too, I replaced all of mine for Bosch a couple of weeks ago, was only 8 or 9 quid too as there was money off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I would suggest you search e-bay for a set of Bosch aero blade wipers. i've fitted a set and they look much neater than the standard blades, you can get a full set for @£15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watshot Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Have to agree, the new style flat blade wipers update the look of the car. I got mine from Opie Oils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You get a 10% discount from Aotobulbs direct because you are a member on here. PM a team member for the code if needed. It's not much, but help towards the postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Definitely get the Bosch ones! I got a cheap set off eBay that few had mentioned on here, £8 fir 3. Although they look the part and do work to keep the raindrops off the screen, they leave smears when using the washers or when anything other that water is on it. The girlfriend had Bosch on her 1 series and you can see the difference in quality with each passing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cemetery Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Looking on Autobulbs the Bosch ones appear to be sold out at the mo, are the abd ones comparable does anyone know & how long does delivery tend to take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Just wait for the Bosch ones, or order them some place else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
