Seat Ibiza 09/2009 Wiper Blades

The wiper blades on my Seat Ibiza 2009/09 reg are about to give in so I obviously need to buy new ones.

My first stop was Halfords but they don't stock them for my model. I've found a couple of pairs online and wondered which was the best, or if there were any better (and not too expensive) options out there.

    Both Bosch and Valeo are OEM, good quality parts, both reasonably priced.

    Also worth checking with your local Seat and VW dealers (same part numbers, they should be on the existing blades), sometimes they have them available at special prices.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I'd assumed the dealer would be more expensive but I'll check them out before I order any as both Seat and VW are within easy driving distance of my house.

    I've sworn by Bosch blades through my last three cars and found them pretty good value and quality throughout - Although I must say that I did think the last couple of pairs were not as well made as I had been used to.

    Also, for anything VW-related, GSF are often worth a ring - they have always been competitive for me and delivered quickly:

    The wiperblades.co.uk own blades are pretty good also.

    Why not just measure them and buy ones the same length?. From my own experience you can re-use the plastic clips that hold them to the arms.
