Hi guys,

When I got Mr. Trouble back in march I fitted some ****ty aftermarket blades just to pass the MOT. A few months ago one popped off the arm and scratched my window something fierce - basically they is naff as ####.

Anyone got suggestions for decent replacements? Points of for unusualness :).

Will.
 
Hi Will,

I have exactly the Bosch ones in your link.

They are brilliant - softer than other brands of flat blade - but harder wearing.

I've had the present set on for well over 2 years - I bought another identical set in November ready for when these need replacement - but they are standing up very well - no smears or missed bits at all.

They can't jam with ice or snow in the winter. :D

They deflect flies and light drizzle up over the roof - so the screen stays clear longer. :D

I fitted a cheaper brand on my Sprinter and they look the same - but haven't lasted so long.

I don't like the quoted price for the Bosch though. :(

Shop around - there are plenty other on-line suppliers.

Even ECP (with a club discount of at least 25%) should be cheaper.

SV.
 
Always used the Halfrauds ones as they are just around the corner from me but I also use the Rain X product on the outside of the screen wich do help the water bead and run up the screen and over the roof .

Which brand do you use on the INSIDE? I know Freelanders suffer from condensation issues, but isn't that course of action a tad extreme???:)
 
Daughter bought the Halfrauds ones for her fiesta, look and fitted ok. Took me 2mins to fit even though Halfrauds wanted £1.99 each to fit.

I use the interior Rain X for the inside of the screen along with 2 of the crystal filled box type thingies under the front seats you can get them from Wilkinson's to help keep the condensation issues to a minimum, it seems to work. The Rain X on the outside is a Godsend as I do a lot of motorway miles and does cut down a lot the use of wipers
 
Do you have a friend with a Halfords Trade card? Because it brings their own-make blades down to £3 each... and they are excellent quality.

Hmm can't find the set for much under 20 quid.

Is it 22" on one side and 21" on the other??

Yes.

Just seen that last post about Halfrauds.

At that price we could afford to change them every 6 months!

Must have a look.

A trade card isn't too difficult to get - I got one.
