Brilliant - absolute silence :)

Bit of a pain trying to see how they fit. At first the passenger side was leaving a patch in the middle of the screen :evil:
Turned out I had fitted on the hook the wrong way round.

Easiest way is to remove the top cover of the blade and slide over the wiper arm.
Then click blade in place on the hook (slides on really easy - if it doesn't you've done what I did at fitted the wrong way round) and then replace the cover

I've been looking at these, think I'll be placing an order then if you say they fit ok :thumbsup:
Cheers
 
Yeah - only slight issue is that at rest the passenger one (20") doesn't hug the screen in the corner - not sure if the original one did TBH
I think someone said they'd bought a 19" instead and that fit better

AS in OEM? You know [in the long run] it makes sense :)

Well I wasn't actualy thinking OEM but some bosch standard style, but now you mention it, I might just check the prices :thumbsup:
 
I have Bosch ones but I don't think they're very good. Had to replace the passenger side one when it broke just as the rain was picking up and it seems to slightly scrape the windscreen sometimes and squeak sometimes. Which ones are the OEM ones?
 
Feck me, £35 for OEM wiper blades, :o not sure who makes them though but I know i'm not having any of those.
 
I bought my Bosch wipers from Euro Car Parts and they were identical to the Bosch OEM blades that were fitted

Do they fit the curvature of the screen on the passenger side, I tried bosch once and then switched back to oem as they stuck out from the screen and has less pivot points. Not sure if the aero wipers have addressed that yet.
