Good place to buy wipers - Page 2

Wilkinsons!!!

£2 each. Stuck 20 & 21 inch wipers on and they work brilliantly! Don't know how long they will last, but they shift rain and grime and general disgusting weather road crud really efficiently. And for the price, I was impressed. AM impressed, I ought to have said. Or written.

Yep, I bought Bosch, they are pretty good. Not that expensive either from a motor factors, about £5 I think.

When I bought The Bosch Aero wipers last year for the first time it was revelation. I'll never go back to ordinary wipers again.

Bosch for me, too.
Tried others but always seem to have problems and go back to Bosch.

Weird. Last 2 sets of Bosch wipers I had didn't actually last all that long. I think the drivers side lasted about 8 months, and the passenger side 12. And no, when it is icy, I don't just turn the wipers on and sit there as I know some moronic people do. I also clean the windscreen regularly with a Mer windscreen cleaner that adds a layer of protection and wax or whatever it does that makes water and dirt bead off. Everyone swears by Bosch, but I haven't ever had any real joy with them.

I find that cleaning the blades with white vinegar stops all the smearing saving going out to buy replacements as often

Yip. Cheap as chips and cheap enough to replace twice a year if they wear out.

I am in the same boat - this set of Bosch have been on less than a year

If you have Costco Membership, they are very good for wiper blades and Oil.
