If you are referring to the aero flat blade, they are brilliant. Never a squeak or judder. The only waening I can give is do not buy the cheap ones. I paid about £20 for mine. My dad bought some for £12 and nowt but trouble. You get what you pay for.

I bought a set from Tesco's recently, reduced down to £6 each, they work well but the drivers side squeaks !

my tesco one sort of 'clicks' , but thats because its a 22" I think, as it is over sweeping

I bought bosch flat blades from this seller, ( the cheapest on ebay at the mo I believe.) Excellent performance for the 6+ months I've had them fitted.

I've tried cheaper flat blades off ebay. Fine for a short while, but then started to become noisy.

This seller also provides one slightly shorter blade for the passenger side I believe, as some ,me included found that 2 x 22" blades fitted can catch the rubber windscreen seal.

Yup! Them's the ones, Had them on for some 18months now, not a peep from them and a good clean sweep.

These are definitely better than standard wipers.

I tried a cheap set which squeaked a lot, then a Bosch set from eBay which were better and have since had several sets of Valeo blades which are the best I've tried.

They have a UV damage indicator to show when you should change them. As my car is kept out doors I find it lasts about twice that time.

HTH,

Bosch Aeros for me as well , we have used cheapies on the wifes Yaris and they just shudder.

I have had 2 cheapo sets from Ebay. Both from different sellers and cost about £8 including postage. The first set were very disappointing, squeaked and juddered from the start. So I replaced with another cheapo set from different seller. These have performed brilliantly. Give a perfect silent sweep. Had them on for about 9 months now and still working fine. I think with the cheap ones its kind of pot luck as to if you get a good or bad set.
