Bought at Costco today...
« on: 21 August 2010, 23:43:31 »
...a set of US-made Goodyear wipers to replace my old juddering GM ones. They seem quite chunky and also appear to perform well. £14 the pair (one 24", one 19"). I'll let you know how I get on with them.  :y

I love costco and tbh really rate their tools, bought my socket set there, branded crescent and it's been brilliant and took a fair bit of abuse so far :)

I buy a new pair each year for the MOT here in Spain. After each summer they are ruined by the heat and melting onto the screen. Doesn't matter how much they cost.

LOL strangley enough i have to replace the rear wiper every year but the fronts are genuine vaux(kindly supplied by TB :y) and havent been replaced in nearly 3 years we have been here!! no juddering or hardening however i do wash them (edges) everytime i wash the car? must be working!!!

EDIT FORGOT TO SAY HAVE HAD TO RESTICK THE REAR NUMBER PLATE BACK ON TWICE NOW THOUGH!!! the heat just gets to it and you come out to find the plate laying on the floor behind the car!!! ;D

The wipers seem fine but I need to give them a bit of time before I can give a judgment.
