After peeling the rubber of my back wiper blade to stop it making a horrible noise during heavy rain when driving down the motorway due to it being torn. I called into the local dealer while passing today for a new one and was hit by

Are you sure, they are £18, the most expensive wiper blade for a skoda. After the initial shock and a few more words i took it, nice on him He give me a small discount but £18 for a wiper blade

Anyone else been shocked by price of parts for the Superb estate that they thought that won't be much

try wiperblades.co.uk

full assebly runs between GBP6-GBP15.

It's sometimes also possible to change just the rubber - you can do it on the front & Skoda sell just the rubber.

Lucky it wasn't a front wiper blade http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/379804-ha-ha-ha-hadoh/

£43 for the front one

Told me the back one was the most expensive one, £18 was a shock

Wiper blades are like tyres, never buy them from a main dealer.

 

Skoda OEM blades are simply Bosch blades in an expensive Skoda box.

 

The genuine Skoda part number is: 3T9955425.

 

However, if you search on eBay for the equivalent Bosch part number (A403H) you will note that they are much cheaper!

 

£12 including delivery...

I needed to get a rear wiper blade for my Superb Combi a while ago. Local Halfords didn't stock them & I needed one quick for a forth coming MOT. Went to a Skoda dealer who also didn't have one either (unbelievable). They had to order one in next day for £18 ish. Was steep but I didn't have much of choice.

 

Still, it was cheaper that a front wiper for my wife's 56 plate Corsa - are you sitting down....£26 - for one - not even a pair!!!!

"They have some special fitting" said the motor factor dealer. Yea, & made of platinum as well said I !!

if you stick too with the following brands you will pay a lot less & most can be bought from eurocar parts / bosch - valeo - champion.
