Bosch Aerotwin Wipers

[TonyM62]

Hi all

Sorry if this has been asked before but I have bought some new wipers AR16 and AR26 and have problems with the drivers side blade. The small clip that goes over the hook will not clip because of the cantilever wiper bracket. I have bodged it for now but is there a proper fix?

I bought aero type blades at tesco the other week and they were 16 for the passenger and 24 for the driver and both fit easily.

i bought some michelin stealth about 8 months ago - paid good money for them as you would

they have just developed a judder which i cannot get rid of.

i have therefore decided to go for a cheap non make for £4.50! - the seller has sold over 1300 - i would'nt mind replacing them 8 months later.

was'nt impressed with the michelins though especially when they cost £26 odd quid!

Funnily enough, I've found that the 'el cheapo' blades work the best. I've never had any 'judder' problems with them.

I bought mine on that black Friday for £2.00 each. Thinking about it now I should've bought a few sets.

Hi Tony and welcome to the LOC.

I had the same problem fitting the driver's side, I "modified" the fitting with a stanley knife by cutting a small piece of the plastic out.

Been working fine for around 4 years now ( cheapo eBay flat types).

Cheap eBay blades still going strong after 18 months no judder,clear really well ,slight mod to drivers blade to fit but no bother with it.

Update: the wipers turned up today (ap automotive brand)- both have the lift up clip type fitting - fitted fine - first impressions - very good - smooth quiet and clean the screen fine.

cost £4.50 inc delivery

lets see how long they last?

Just and update to this thread - my £4.50 wipers are working just fine - just goes to show cheap does not always means bad quality.

Good question Malc

I have covered about 8 - 9 thousand miles

I've only ever bought replacement rubbers from Toyota/Lexus and they seem to last about  40/50k miles ( 4/5 years ) .......  the last one's I think were about £23 a pair ( maybe )
