    I took them back today; they wouldn't give me a refund as its longer than their 28 day company policy, so after briefly attempting to disagree with this they gave me a new set. Which I don't really want as I've already bought some better, cheaper ones but that's not really a valid reason to reject them! They did say though that if these ones were as bad I could have a refund no problem.
    Seems fair enough but I'm vaguely wondering if I was entitled to a refund.

    do they judder on the way up or the way down? sometimes adjusting the bend in the wiper arm can help this problem.

    get a pair of pliers (wrap a rag around the flat part of the wiper arm,to save damaging the black paint coating and causing rust) then grap it with your pliers and twist the arm a little bit,depending on which way it judders will depend on which way you twist it.

    your a smart lad rev, im sure you will work it out. ;)
    This did help quite a bit actually, didn't even need pliers just bent it a bit by hand. I probably bent the arms when fighting with them to replace the blades originally.
