sounds like Bosch wiper blades are very good, anybody known where is the cheapest place to buy them.

The ones from wilkinsons, do they come with spoiler?

thanks...

I got these from Wiperblades and they're performing very well so far (with integrated spoilers):

If you have/are able to get a Halfords Trade Card you can get big discounts on Bosch Super Plus sets, e.g. 21/19s was £10.59 last time I checked the thread. Otherwise I'd recommend the above site.

i brought some from lidl a couple of months ago, £4 for the pair. They looked exactly the same as the bosch ones i took off, and are very good and quiet. if replacement is not urgent i would wait till their next offer- normally every few months.

Bad blades just annoy me so much I'm loath to try these cheaper ones but the way things are going it will be all I can afford

Just a quickie althgough I doubt there will be many left Lidl did wipers on 23 February. Aldi's last were on 15 January and I think they are around quarterly when these offers come around again.

I thought I would try wiperblades.co.uk yesterday for Ford Focus

I got there universal aero blades and they came today at 7.30am. these are them

Just fitted them, but had a problem with one blade the plastic mechanism broke when fitting, rang them up and they sending a free replacement

Very pleased with prompt service and after sales

Not sure who your comment is aimed at.

If its me I bought 3 blades, 2 aero and one standard for rear, two fitted fine, the 3rd broke soon as I tried to slot it in. I wasnt looking for a replacement for free, in fact I would have bought another or if I could get the plastic insert, I suspect is very easy to break them given your inserting thin plastic into a metal arm that has a slot in

I only posted above because I was impressed with the service both speed in delivery, price and how they dealt with me they were even quick answering the phone, no, on hold or press option 1 etc. I wasn't a rant more of a surprise that some companies are good to deal with, and yes I will use them again.

I tried the blades and impressed with how they clean but I only used the washer/wiper function no rain today thank God

I bought the same aero blades as you and agree that their service is great. However, I don't think those blades are very good quality although they were amazing when first installed.

The driver side blade started smearing 3 months after purchase, they replaced immediately but the replacement is now starting to smear. Tried cleaning screen and blade with vinegar to no avail. I don't think I'll buy that brand again though the company seem alright; their customer service somewhat balances the disappointing product quality.
