Cookey09 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi all! So, I've previously posted a thread on smearing/juddering... I've done all the great recommendations from you guys. Nothing's worked. Smearing like crazy today. Feel like new Wiper Blades will stop this. Which Wiper Blades would you suggest for my 64plate fiesta? I've seen someone suggest PIAA wipers.(silicone blade) The blades I've currently got are the aero ones fitted from when I first bought the car. Recommendations. Suggestions. I'm all ears. Thanks.

chrisroberson99 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Bosch Aerotwin. 'Nuff said. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1tch Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I have heard that the PIAA silicone blades are pretty good as I believe they leave a tiny layer of silicone on the screen which repels water (much like rainx), I have just really basic £5 aero wipers, they do the job with no smears, sounds like it is just a case of just needing new wipers.

AllenP Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You might consider new wiper arms. If the springs are weak they will produce smearing even from New Wiper Blades. A product like Rainex (from Halfords) is also a remedy for some smearing problems. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwoody Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Sounds like new blades needed, is there any difference between the Ford aero blades and the Bosch Aerotwin ones apart from the Bosch ones being more expensive. Always ran the Bosch blades on my A6 and found them to be good blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I prefer Ford over Bosch. The Bosch wipers make an irritating clunk as they change direction at anything below 50mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I can't rate aerotwin highly enough personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduser Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My nearside blade used to make a real loud knock, like it wase hitting the nearside windscreen pillar. Replaced them with a Ford pair and now they are completely silent in operation. Huge difference. They were on the car when I bought it, so don't know what make they were.

GingerFlame Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Bear in mind there is fake Bosch wipers out there, both branded and Unbranded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
