Had them on the 110 for three years without any problems.
Just about time to replace them unless the 110 sells first

Used them for 2 winters, recently started streaking so now replaced with Bosch Aero retro fit which [after 10 days] seem to be good. Time will tell though.

Seemed to streak worse than stock on mine. Very disappointed (not cheap).
Could it be the heating elements on the outside of the screen? May be just me  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

The MUD 'demo' picture was what I was interested in, there being a coating applied by the blade......hence the silicone? The blades do look very curved, too much to 'profile' to the defender screen IMO. They are a lot of money £17 for one!!! Thanks for opinions. Very useful.

Some of the screen treatments available work really well, though you have to get the screen really clean first. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

For the last few years I have been buying the Aero flat from eBay at around £7 a pair I have found them to be a big improvement over standard LR wiper blades. I change my blades every year so figure for the £34 that a pair of Mud blades would have cost me I could have brought nearly five sets. I have never had an issue with them but keep the take off set in the truck for a year then swap them out, with the next removed pair.
I also use Rain-x which makes the biggest difference. Jason. |

I pheasant damaged one of my silblades in the rain so I had to remove it, I replaced it with a Land Rover blade, wow what a difference. I ended up turning round going back to the dealer and changing the other blade. L R Ones are much better
