Changed the wiper blades on the front of the octavia at the weekend, I haddnt noticed anything particularly bad about them but now they're changed it is such an improvement.

Nice clear screen in the rain now, even made a difference when wiping the dew off this morning.

The best cheap (

Just done that myself, much better

True, I changed mine and in general, they're much better.

But I was a little annoyed to find out that the Bosch "Fabia" wipers don't have the curved passenger-side wiper. So it's not a like-for-like OEM replacement :thumbdwn:

It still wipers ok but doesn't look as tidy as it should.

Any one have a price for the proper OEM wipers from the dealer?

Hi

I have checked my ETKA and the kits for the wipers are the same for the Octavia and the Fabia.

Do you use Ombrello or any other rain-repellent on your windscreen? Saves using the wipers in the rain
