Wiper blades ?
« on: 17 November 2009, 21:14:57 »
I believe due to the combination of UV and the dust wiper blades do not last long here usually less than a year
So my question is what blades do you guys and girls think are best ie cheapos from auto factor / well known brand such as bosch / main stealers or these new multi blade-flat blade

Thoughts please :y

I have only tried the standard type. But have used dealers, bosch and halfrauds, and local shop type and I am lucky to get 18 months out of a set.  :o

Ditto;replaced the old ones on the estima with some of the new style flat blades with jet wash off ebay and I do find them better than the traditional style ones I had before. In the past Ive used trad style blades from Bosch and halfords and cant say there was much difference between the two apart from the price!
