With those stupid, over zealous rain sensing wipers, you have to use this crap, as they do last longer on a dry screen than a traditional set.

However, I still maintain that a traditional wiper does a better (cleaning) job, having used both types throughout the life of the blades.

The aero style are good at moving water from a screen (wet or dry), but poor at removing the debris from a summer's evening thrashing.  The traditional wipers are better at this, but just shred themselves on dryish screens.

Going by Tunnies remarks on cost, where the Gm ones are now expensive(£?) I'd have to say the twins are now far superior in every way to those, and most others.

They last very well, clear well, are totally silent and dont lift. As was said on here years ago, but those with entrenched views refused to accept another view and without first hand experience of the product concerned.

How we're expected to trust the views of a cirtain admin in the face of such erratic posts I'm not sure. ESP given posts on loosing new members recently where we're expected to be more accepting of "the other view"!

Is it any wonder we are generally "lead astray" given the above and the devils advocate approach without ecperience...? Sorry, but I find this hypocritical frankly.
