Same factory/batch perhaps

The GY ones look very different to the Bosch.  Failure mode was the same, the "spine" along the length of the blade seemingly broke, causing the last 12" or so to just flop around. Both times it happened it was fairly cold, and at high speed.

I've tried a couple of sets and not a fan of them TBH. They dont seem to last very long and once they wear they tend to get noisy. Prefer the GM or Bosch standard ones.

I tried some blades like these Bosch ones and I found the were rubbish on my car. The bottom of the wiper would catch on the wiper arm thus creating a patch of wet right in my field of vision which was very annoying. I now just use standard blades

I use Bosch Aero twins, I got mine from Autobulbs direct as I don`t have a Hellfrauds trade card.

Thanks Mr Gav just odered a set from Autobulbs to give them a try, no Halfrauds trade either ,these have got to be genuine

[Mr Gav]

I`ve had a few pairs from them over the years, never had any problems with them, a good source of HID bulbs too, genuine Philips bulbs for around £36 each

I bought some "AR" Bosch Aero Twins for #irmscherMV6 from Halfords. Ignore the in-store wiper guide booklet recommendations; it lists the driver's side wiper for BOTH sides, which is incorrect.  You need a 19 and a 24 iirc, but the guide lists 2 x 24s. Obviously, the passenger side wiper will overshoot the windscreen by a mile if using a driver's side wiper on both sides!

Indeed, as Humbucker says, ignore the shite info in Halfords, its wrong. And not just on the Omega.

Fitted the new areos today ,certainly quieter but could just be the newness, they also look smart . I'll see how they fair after some use over the winter
