Wiper blade recommendations.

Bosch.

PIAA silicone are good, but one I had separated from its metal frame, which could have damaged the windscreen. They also have a reputation for sticking in very cold weather.
 
Thanks all. Has anyone tried these Bosch ones? Would be handy as I can get them today if any good.

Cheers.
 
Bosch Aerotwin, fitted them to many cars and always been very satisfied.
 
I've got PIAA wipers on mine which have been there for a year and a half now and are still good as new.
More expensive for sure but far better than the Areotwin wipers I've had in the past.
 
Will any of these recommendations resolve my squeaky wipers? They are not quiet at all especially when it’s just drizzling.

For PIAAs, you're supposed to 'condition' the windscreen.

Perhaps your wipers are OK, but you've got squeaky glass. :wink:
 
PIAAs come with an alcohol screen wipe and instructions to condition the screen with the silicone wiper itself.

Conditioning for rubber wipers depends on a clean screen (including the removal of Rain-X), new wiper blades (not just the rubbers) and correctly angled wiper arms.

Apparently, a little WD40 on the rubbers works wonders.

+1 for Bosch,

Got a pair recently for 50% off at ECP and they are mint. No complaints what soever.

Cheers.

I did the same euro car parts bosch 50% off on black friday sale. Id try looking in the next few days as sales are coming up they work a charm cant complain. Ive purchased a different pair of bosch wiperblades from wiperblades.co.uk and they lasted say 5 months and worn out, but that could be because i clean my car weekly and at the time i used to wipe down the wiper blades with a microfiber cloth silly me.keep the silicon moist and let it do its job theres no need to wipe the blades down :D
 
That’s more like it...a poster on here said they changed theirs every 5 months 😮 what on earth were they doing with them?

I'd also recommend PIAA. I've just replaced the original set I fitted to my Z4M.... 9 years ago!

I thought the Aerotwin style wipers didn't fit the curvature of the E89 screen and sat proud of the windscreen at the sides?

Is this not the case?
