I'd also recommend some sort of rain x- water repellent - espescially when going over 50 the rain comes off the windscreen alot by itself! Note to self to apply another coat.

Mine are working well. Totally silent. Which is nice  :)

However, to make up for it, the car now has decided it would like new matrix to HBV pipes  ???  ???

If going for aero style, I'd be inclined to stick to good branded ones, rather than el-cheapo shite, which IME have proved to be poor at the job in hand (wiping the screen), esp once a couple of months old.

Just put a Bosch set on the new MV6. Swear by them as they actually tend to last. Plus I put a budget set on the Ascona once, and they actually rusted!! Plus the new Bosch fitting system is actually much slicker (not that this matters!). You can get some good prices on the bay occasionally too.

My non-aero Bosch ones have made the clunk when wiping since I put them on (FL). It's not always but most times they will hit the bonnet on the bottom stroke.

Can't see a way to get play out of the system.
