Having got tired of the noisy wipers, I bought a pack of Bosch Aerotwin blades and I can't get them to fit.

 

Unless I'm being a complete idiot, the fitment (the only one in the box) seems to be a touch longer than the original (pictured) and it fouls against the curvature of the fitment on the wiper arm. Has anyone else had this?

2020 Sportline if it's relevant.

How very annoying for you, I assume the Bosch is on the RHS, mine look like this.

 

I took note of messages here a while ago, and ordered 2 full sets of Bosch Aero blades from Amazon at a good price, being careful to specify the right code number.  I've had these more than a year, but only finally got round to changing the noisy originals a week ago (2 year old Karoq SE Technology MY19).  They were no trouble at all to fit & I really don't know why I waited so long, I put up with the graunching, groaning from what I assume were the old Valeos far too long and they weren't brilliant at clearing the screen.  Apparently early on, the Bosch replacements needed adaptors for the Karoq, but then versions came out that fit out of the box, as mine did.

 

The code numbers of mine that work are A864S for the front pair and A331H for the rear.

 

I hope you get it sorted soon.  In spite of being skeptical that they could offer such a big improvement, I can now confirm all the other previous reports here that they really do make a difference, being really smooth and quiet, (albeit that's only after a small amount of use after one week).  One person some time ago did find that his replacement Boschs left a poorly cleared path in the line of view and found another make that didn't, but many others haven't found this and neither have I - a really clean sweep, front and back.

 

Actually, just checking my originals, they do look similar to your one on the LHS.  Unusually for me, I did read the car handbook and carefully followed instructions during fitting.

Interesting. Mine are A863S but the Karoq is listed on the box. I can see me taking the Dremel to them.

Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if A863S is the left hand drive fitment and that's why they don't fit. Amazon says they're the correct fitting and that A864S isn't. I'm working in France and bought them from Amazon.fr rather than amazon.co.uk

I hadn't thought of that one.

These minor, but irritating, adjustments made to wiper blade fitment seem quite unnecessary - checking on the Amazon fitment guide the 863’s do not fit 2019 Karoq…..? 

zappahey - that could well be so, now I compare my Bosch with yours.  The 45* chamfer on the RHS bottom of your Bosch blade in the picture is on the LHS on my new blades.  The original on the naff mine & yours, has short chamfers both sides, so those are presumably a universal fitting.  Maybe the longer Bosch chamfered bottom extension gives more support in the wiper arm housing & is part of the reason they don't judder & groan.  The housing on the car, looks like it's meant to receive the Bosch style connector anyway, having only the one chamfer.  Dremelling your blade will shorten the above noted extension and may just turn it into another Valeo, but hopefully not!!!!

Deffo the A864S, just checked what I ordered from Amazon.  Can’t remember the details but it just took a few minutes to fit and was simple, even for a non-techie like me.

If I search for A864S then Amazon wants to ship from the UK so must be a LHD/RHD thing.

 

Just bought front pair Bosch A863S and A331H rear blades, fitted perfectly. (LHD)
