I'm using SilBlade's - expensive for wiper blades but they are much better than the standard ones

Had my Silblades for over two years and they are still fantastic even in the harsh summer heat over here.

Several years later my SilBlades are still working very nicely, but I find that it's a case of using a good screen-wash. A few squirts to get the screen nice and clean, and then the wipers perform a lot better.

Silblades are very over rated, Bosch are by far the best.
As much as it pains me to say this, but the oem range of britpart ones seem to be very good for 6.50each, I have to keep them in as local farmers only want cheap things as there who vehicles are consumable items. |

I think several pairs of cheap eBay wipers changed regularly are better than one pair of expensive ones. As Flips says though, so e screen wash also helps.

Clean your windscreen with a splash of vodka once in a while to remove the build up of stuff that screenwash can't remove.

I just ordered a pair of BOSCH Twin 202 to get rid of the DIY market stuff (low value for little money). A pair of BOSCH including shipping for 15 .

OEM, Bosch,Halfords - I've tried a few and none of them impressed and then I got hold of some Lucas blades at a motor factors. 6 each and they just clear the screen cleanly with no streaking. Best of the lot

Hi
Have to replace my wiper blades...Did a search through the autoparts stores here in Lisbon, and couldn't find any 33cm wiper blades (measured in my 110 - 13")...I can order but they will cost me 10 each !! I found these on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380553942114?ssP...1438.l2649 do you think it's any good? Where do you guys get those Bosch ones? Can you point me to another onlineshop that has some, of any make? I'd like to try Sillblade ones but they're a bit expensive...I think Regards Joao '10 Land Rover Defender 110 CC '08 BMW F800GS '64 SIIA Forward Control '69 SIIA 109 ZA CKD _____________________________________________ You have the right to remain silent.
