Which surprsies me, Bosch do everything else well. Get some PIAA silcone wipers. Trust me: you will never go back to normal wipers after them. Totally worth the extra money.

bigstring Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 The cheapo ebay ones are good for 3 months then fade out, but still good at that price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PAIR-AERO-FLAT-TOYOT...=item4aa491f5fe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALSHOT Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I bought a Bosch driver side blade from Halfords. Made a right noise !!! though could have been a duff one. Bought a neoform blade to replace and it's now very smooth and silent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Q Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 i've used bosch super plus ones for years and years, long lasting, silent when in use, no problems at all from here. just goes to show how much peoples experiences differ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyRacer Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I used Bosch for a great many years until I discovered Neoforms about 3 years go. These or PIAA nothing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defrag Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 If you can afford the neoforms go for them, they are sex on a stick as far as windsceen wipers go... i think opie oils in the corp section do them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogmaLoki Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 i concurPIAA silicone Was hoping someone would back me up! Man I've even bought them as gifts I believe in them so much. Boring gifts granted, but the recipients agree with me and I like to think of them being safer on the roads. Do you find if you go in another car now as a passenger when it's raining you think "How on earth do you see anything?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matth321 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I bought a Bosch driver side blade from Halfords. Made a right noise !!! though could have been a duff one. Bought a neoform blade to replace and it's now very smooth and silent! Same here (for a Gen 7). It either squeaks or smears, or both. I've just ordered some wiperblades.co.uk own brand ones based on recommendations here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan38 Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for all of the replies. I'm just going to go for a set Sparcos. Could anyone confirm these sizes for me: Driver blade 21" Passenger blade 19" Rear blade 20" Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I've been using Valeo silencio' and thought they were better than Bosch super plus until this latest set which are total crap. Been on the car 2 months and are streaking more than Erica Roe (Twickenham 1970's!!). How much are these Neoform ones going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those prices aren't bad at all. I'm going to Flame and Thunder tonight, if there's nothing there I'll get them. Do you know if the sizes I put up earlier are correct?

pellow Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Just replaced my worn Bosch wipers with some Neoforms, very impressed with the quality. They move almost silently and shift the water of the glass much better than the Bosch. They cost about £14 quid per blade from a local motorfactor, worth the cost though as I can see in the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan38 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I went for some Sparcos in the end, found some cheap on Ebay. Thank you all for the suggestions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kishan38 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) 10 months later... Either the Sparcos are shit or my wiper arms need replacing? Don't know if this sounds stupid but is it even possible for wiper arms to bend out shape? Edited September 8, 2011 by kishan38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
