Which Wipers Are Better?

Featured Replies

After getting the old AC re gassed and oiled for this brilliant rainy weather its occured to me that the wipers are getting pretty useless, and i cant decide between Bosch aerofits or regular super plusses, if i buy a triple of super plus blades it will cost me £23.83, or if i chose 3 aero fits it would be £31.74, so are thess blades worth the extra £8, also there is a brand called ABD offering aero type wiper triple pack for £24.28, are they anygood or should i stick to Bosch,Valeo etc?

I have retro fitted Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades to my last three cars and have found them to be a big improvement over the traditional types already fitted,

The Bosch ones are the best i've come across. Website called autobulbs direct have the best price on wipers. Looking at £22.08 + £2.95 P&P for the two fronts. Just be carful you don't pick the "spoiler" type, as they are cheaper and less affective. If you want a rear wiper, it's another £8 or so, but then you would get free p&p for spending over £30, so total would be £30.58 delivered.

Another tip - if you click via one of the cashback sites (such as top cashback or quidco) you could earn 12% back on the value of your order.

allways use the company below myself,at the minute the mk6 bosch aerofits are at £21 + £8 for the rear

Seems good value, but now im panicking about a tapping noise after starting it up cold, it goes away after a few minutes though so im going to wait and see will have a look over there. thanks.

*can get a set of valeo one piece wipers all round for £28.79 including postage 6 - 7 quid cheaper than the Bosch one piece sets.*

+1 for the Bosch. Great improvement, still going strong after 1 year /10,000 miles.

Apparently since its been raining all week my current wipers are now ship shape anyway, i reckon i would go for the Valeo's anyway as they are much cheaper and are a reputable brand as well.

I needed a parcel shelf strap so went for a ride out to the nearest ford dealer and thought wipers for the strap and 2 front wipers came to 26.50 which doesn't seem too bad, the worst part of the transaction is the 30+minute drive each way for the nearest ford dealer. If I remember I will post back in a few months for an opinionpost-40601-0-48629000-1376568854_thumb.j
