What are in favour at the moment? ???
I can get a set of Bosch wipers from ebay for £11, but I'm worried they might be fake. :-\ ::) ;D
TIA! :y

I have a pair of the £1.50 jobbies from ECP.
What's the worst that can happen?..... ::)

Is that the same as pattern.
I got mine from Keith ABS, genuine GM.

It's £12 for Bosch from Haulfrauds.... If you have a trade card. :)
Just slapped a set on both 2.2/3.2. Replaced shagged ones, so new ones are brilliant ;D

My last set came from ECP. £2.74 :y, but they are starting to smear rather than wipe.... 18 months on. I was robbed! ;D

What about these (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aero-Front-Flat-Beam-Windscreen-Wiper-Blades-24-19-Upgrade-Pair-Car-/160744738010?fits=Car+Make%3AVauxhall%7CModel%3AOmega%7CCars+Year%3A2000%7CPlat_Gen%3AB%7CCars+Type%3A2.5+V6&hash=item256d220cda) flat blade type? Anyone used them? ???

The flat blade wipers are excellent.
On the Omega, they don't tend to sweep the corner of the screen where the tax disc used to be, but that's not a major issue.
The most annoying thing is when you use your washer jets.... the 4/5 wipes are pointless as the first one clears perfectly.
I can't vouch for the link - I only use Bosch Aero wipers on my car, camper and work van. (Saab 9-5, VW T4, Mk7 Transit)
-
I use Champion on my Omegas. I like them as they are very reasonable, perform and last well, and the GM originals were made by Champion. I don't know whether they still make them now for GM, but I wouldn't use anything else. Tried Bosch, and other cheaper makes, but always go back to Champion. Available at most good motor factors.

They're excellent: clean the entire screen even when it's covered in light drizzle; are quiet; last about 3 years; and are so cheap that I can fit all 3 for less than the cost of one branded blade
-
There seems to be a lot of negativity about the flatblades in general, but I have them they cost about £2 or something daft on ebay, about two years ago, this is the second car they've been fitted to and wipe lovely. Maybe starting to smear a little, however, I'll be trying to clean my blades with a babywipe or detergent before I go chucking them in the bin.

Aero V traditional, horses for courses.
Aero great at removing water/rain/light grime, traditional better at flies etc. traditional get noisy with the hyperactive rain sensing wipers.
I prefer traditional, but use aero on rain sensing elite.
Info based on the Bosch ones I have, super plus on MV6 and aero on elite
-
Bosch are by far the best aero style I've tried, but also the most expensive
All brands, I frequently snap passenger one :(
-
Gone off flat blades , they dont hug the screen on enough on the passenger side and after a while they make weird smudgie noises especially when its just drizzling ::)
