Mine are currently a set of Aldi's finest aero style blades... they are the thinnest and most near I have ever found - clean well and are very quiet.

Matt. :D

search for aero wipers, (*another window just went through*) :shock: (neighbors are having a barney, been going on all week - think there's 2 windows left intact on their house)..

They do headlight wipers too I think. sm16 ... we gotta get out of this place....

Asda has wipers for £1, all sizes - taken apart the individual parts fit the headlight wipers with a bit of plierage - £4 for a FULL set of blades, and they're good!!

Not my bag. Original style wipers FTW. They may not be as good, but they suit the car much better IMO.

When I still had headlight wipers I made new blades for them like mentioned above. Saves the monies innit.

I have tried Bosch and AC Delco brans of those and I'm not impressed, original type Champion have been much better, lasts much longer in perfect condition.
