They were great had them on my old Mig, very good and well worth it :y
-
I've got some Bosch ones on at the moment and they make a massive difference

I've been using Bosch Aerotwin flat wiper blades for around 3 years now and wouldn't go back to "standard" wiper blades. Superb silent clearing of the screen and only slight annoyance is that the passenger side blade won't sit flush on the screen when at rest due to the curvature of the screen. On my second set now. :y

happy with bosch aero blade twin, avoid valeo ones, not as good.

Better investment is rain-x majority of the time you dont need your wipers ;)

Got aero wipers on the Carlton - can't remember the make - briliant!

Apart from the fact it smears your windscreen

Had some of those wiper blades on about a year, their cheap rubbish, cost me about 8.00 at the time. Just replaced them as "they couldn't take winter >:(" with some from Auto-lites,bit the bullet and paid 16.99,and am I glad :y the quality is superb, they look far neater, with a very nice easy clip-on side hinged buckle fix on,the blades are similar if not the same as bosch ones I've fiitted to some previous cars.They also have replaceable elements 8-). Regretfully I can't yet do the reference sentence in my text. Simply google "auto-lites" to get to the website as the name implies they specialise in bulbs but quote omega in their wiper section or a 24" + a 19" is whats needed :y :y

many thanks for all replies ! :y

Normal std ones for me every time. THose aero type are rubbish!
For those comparing, remember the old style you removed were probably well shagged, hence why you was replacing them.

And seems to do nothing but fog your windows up.

Never had either of these problems. Fogging of the windows is usually caused by dampness inside the car ;) and smearing is the fact your wipers are not operating to their best ;)
The rain-x actually helps the wipers clear the water as its easier to push off the window, but as I said you dont really need them its only when you arent going fast enough that it doesnt clear (usually clears above 40mph)
