Clairey Fairy Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ive got aftermarket ones.They are quite good but take some adjusting at first so they meet the screen properly.Although something is seriously up with my front screen, the wipers go up the screen fine but the other way they judder like mad and its driving me mad!Yep same. Tried to good ol' vinegar and newspaper trick too that did sod all. I got some halfrauds own brand rain-x and slapped that on the windscreen and my wipers have been fine ever sinse style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Might be worth a try it and see if it helps?

Might be worth a try it and see if it helps? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Ive done exactly the same thing, tried autoglym car glass polish, that just made it worse.Then tried vinegar and news paper, that made it slightly better.Then put some rain-x on, and that worked in the way it should, so the water just runs off, but the wipers are much much worse. But i think the rain-x was about 30 years old, just found it in the garage style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> So that might be the problem.So now the rain-x has nearly worn off, and the wipers are juddering so badly i think its going to break the motor.But the funny thing is i also did exactly the same to the rear window and that wiper if perfect, so i dont know whats going on!SO thanks for that, ill give the halfords stuff a try style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I got some vag ones, they are very good. Never tried after market. They are a million times better that standard wipers, and look nice too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> Nice one for posting this mate, I could do with another set.Anf.

paul.ekc Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 £22.89 for the aero rear wiper (12.62 for the arm, 4.78 for the blade and 1.57 for the cap, then add vat)And i think it was about 90 quid for the arms and blades for the front, from a dealerAll the part numbers you need are on hereThese wipers avoid ALL the messing about!! THEY FIT ON YOUR ORIGINAL ARMS!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> CAN I MAKE IT ANY CLEARER?? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 CAN I MAKE IT ANY CLEARER??Nah, i guess you need to spell it out in words of one sylablle or less for me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Brain was obviously mush when i posted that. I'm guessing the part nos you've given are for fronts only, hence why i gave the details for the rear. I was thinking that s3boy was probably referring to the arms and blades together for the 80 quid, hence the clarification on that. Too late for me anyhew, but should save some folks a bundle of dosh style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Nice call.
