£24.57

So I got round to cleaning the car and fitting these wipers today, I can confirm they fit absolutely fine even though the car fitting only shows as Tesla on the box etc, exact same size as my VRS

 

the rear again fits perfect, but it’s shorter than the original part by an inch possibly, but once inside the car, you can’t see or notice as it still covers the swept area from what you see inside so not worth chasing up over etc

 

I was concerned that oem Skoda blades would have been more robust possibly and I have used Bosch for years but also hear they aren’t made like the used to be etc, but IMO the Bosch are much more sturdy than the oem parts, more so I will happily use these again for the price compared to the quote from Skoda at just under £90 for all blades

I have pics to add but site won’t allow the size upload, I’ll try figure it out and add them soon

Thank you for the confirmation, I still haven't got round to ordering them, I have always used Bosch. So glad we have a Bosch set to use.

 

These are the codes of one’s I’ve fitted to a 72 plate hatch VRS

 

Thanks to everyone who put in the hard yards to determine best fit. I read this thread with great interest as MOT is due shortly.

 

I can confirm that Bosch A871S fit a treat. Almost exactly the same as OEM.

 

Wonder why the recommended Bosch wipers are smaller that original OEM? 5cm is a massive difference.

I recently bought these which are pretty close to OEM for a better price.   I have only had them on for a few days, and time will tell if they last:

wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what Škoda supply for the price they quote, even if they last a year and work well, it’s worth changing every year at that price, good find 👍🏻
