Howdy, the Vrs is in need of some new wipers as theres a hell of a lot of scraping going on. What suggestions do you guys have? Im after a decent level of performance as where i drive i can be mad in the wet.

Standard OEM Bosche wipers, 21" drivers side 19" other side. Drivers side one has an aero spoiler on it. Think mine where about £15 from Livingston Autoparts.

Wiperblades.co.uk now do thier own retrofit version of the flat aero blades. I have them on the MX5 and they seem very good - very cheap as well at about £6 each.

cheers

XOPC Acrobats or the Acrobat Extreme if you want an aero wiper:

I've used Bosch Aerotwins in the past, but these are superior. Silicon too, so won't be bothered with the ice and frost come winter.

Just been looking on autobulbsdirect for the wipers as well as halfords. None of them can show me the blades needed for the back window. Do you have any idea and if so where can i get them from?

thanks

Just ordered some of these myself. Hope they're as good as the reviews state.

Dealer only I believe

I thought Halfrauds did sell rear ones, but I must be wrong. The alternative is to buy some refill rubber blades and cut them down to length.

This reminds me, I think I need some for my car.

Went into Halfords yesterday on my way home and they sell a bosch one for the rear or their own brand.

I too am using the retro fit aero wipers from bosch and they are absolutely awesome. I go out my way to find rain just so i can use them, ok maybe im going a bit far but hey!!

Mine arrived this morning in the post! Top notch service from wiperblades.co.uk

Piece of cake to fit as well. Literally pop out the originals, open up the clip on the new aero-style wipers, insert the arm into the holder, close the clip and you're done

Just did a couple of test wipes as it's belting down here and they seem to clear the water very well so far.

Not bad for £14.05 delivered for both front blades.

I did try some retro fit aeros on the wifes vRS and didn't like them; they didn't wipe cleanly like they did on my Toledo.

I have stuck with the OEM Bosch and think they are much better on the furby. On my Toledo however the mk4 golf retrofit ones worked a bute

Just thought I'd add to this - ordered my set from wiperblades.co.uk yesterday lunchtime and they arrived this morning at 8am - top notch service considering I opted for standard post!

Fitted them before leaving for work which literally only took about a minute and they got a good test on the way - good 'ol English summer!

Clear the water off the screen very well indeed and they're pretty much silent

For the price I can't moan!

Hi, I'm using Bosch Aerotwin retrofit blades. From autobulbs direct

Bought a set of 19" and 21" which came in about £25.00 and came with free pair of sidelight leds....

Went to main dealer for replacement clip in wiperblade for rear blade.

Was only about £3.20. Was so impressed I bought a couple of them...

It's the OCD you see... Have to buy things in pairs... :D:D

Just to add, I just fitted the wipers from wiperblades.co.uk and for £14 for both fronts there excellent!

i brought some aroe wipers of ebay and they seem to jubber all the time, anyone have any ideas why this happens??

What make are they? Might just be a cheap rubber compound if they're a 'no name'.

Best to clean the screen down properly and try again. I'd use some Glass Polish if you can, then finally finish with a Glass Cleaner.

Steve

thanks for the advice i will try this tomorrow and feed back, it could be the wipers there were only 10 pound of ebay serves me right for being a cheap skate

should of just brought bosch ones in the first place.

It's probably that mate. If you haven't got glass polish and cleaner, go over the screen and blades with Fairy Liquid. Leave it, fairly neat, on both of them, then clean everything down with car shampoo. Just to hopefully get any contaminants off and lube everything up a bit

Steve

why not try the OE aero wipers from skoda themselves? Ive always used them with no problems at all

o i might have a look at them, cleaning my windscreen didnt work, must be the poor rubber compound in the cheap wiper blades
