Hi

I have a 2020 stline bluetec.

I'm after new windscreen wipers its fitted with valeo aquablades which have the small holes for the washers in the blades, replacement wipers blades are around £100 so was wondering if anyone knows of any similar generic versions i know its valeos design so unlikely or if anything else would fit again i know unlikely as the the washer jets are in the arm.

Thanks

    They are a 'patented design' so unlikely that you will find alternative. Of course the Chinese don't care and will copy anything but of course the quality would be crap.

    Genuine Valeo are under £80 on ebay here.  Also have a 'Best Offer' option so I'd try my luck with that personally...just remember you only get 3 chances at Best Offer.

    Edit - £55 here...  Valeo 572315 Silencio Aqua VA315 Front Wiper Blade Set Flat 750mm 730mm 30" 29" | eBay UK

    Looks like there are plenty of aftermarket options around £40 on ebay if that's still too much.

     

    Edit edit - Another 30 seconds on ebay found these.  £40 for a genuine set.

    I think I might buy them myself at only £40.

    There's a guy called Pete that I can probably sell them to for £75 🤣

    Thank you for the above link to Ebay for a set of Aqua's. Ordered from Ebay late morning, notified of delivery by Fedex that evening and the following morning they arrived - direct from Valeo in Redditch. £54.21. Someone is taking the P to charge £131 for a set.

    In Halfords they no longer sell them. I did say to salesman you did last year. And your touch screen checker offers Bosch, Valeo or Halfords Straight blades. Well they ain't gonna fit any SMax after 2018 with some adaptation, ie; replacing arms for the earlier SMax's with the jets in the wiper clip.

    These Bosch ones can be had for £40, I've tried and have the jets in the wiper - work well so far
