I use OEM ones, replace every year on the 110.

Tried Aero blades once, soon went back to standard blades
No improvement, and looked a bit too 'bulky' on a smaller screen .. Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

I tried aero ones about three years ago. Wouldn't dream of using standard ones anymore. Find them far worse

Still on aeros here too. In fact I'm still on the same set and they don't seem to have deteriorated much at all.

I got mud stuff's Silblades huge difference over standard.
Rain beads off when not in use. So don't need them on in light showers. 110XS CSW TD5. |

I contemplated those a while back but, even with the guaranteed period (three or five years I think), it was still cheaper to get aeros each year (although I find mine last 18 months to 2 years).

Been very happy with genuine Bosch Aero wipers (AR13U) over the last 6 months compared to standard ones, winter will really see what they're like though
Maybe the pre-Td5 wiper motor is a bit less weedy 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |

I have had Sillblades on for the last couple of years. They are good, but not sure if they are worth the price (about £36 a pair). The frames on mine have just started to rust as well which for the price is not great.

Ive had cheap aero blades from ebay on mine for years, never had a problem. Not had to replace them either.

I changed mine to the mid priced mud ones at first but they didn't last more than 6 months they'd gone hard
Think it was from lack of use and it was parked south facing direct into the sun all day Now had aeros about a year and still good It's good to be back from the dark side DC110 -2012 Black with black hood and black x-tech FFRR 4.2 vogue Renault traffic auto PT crusier convertible Laika x700 Motorhome |
