they will work ok on the rear screen, but standard GM would be better for the front  :y

I put them on the Mrs's Street KA and think there crap TBH, as tunnie said standard GM blades and change them every year they cost peanuts on TC :y

I put a set on my Elite last year, and so far so good! They clear the water really well at all speeds, and no horrible squeaks! Not bad for 7 quid IMHO!  :y

Got these on both saloon & estate (front & back) - been well satisfied so far (coming up to 12 months )

I was well pleased with mine, (£7ish) only replaced them because the winter killed them off after 16 months.  :y

tryed a set of wipers like these, aero replica but they are bad.. verry bad. the price is low but if you want your windscreen clean you shouldn't buy them. i bought bosch twin at 20 pounds and they work like a charm :)

I always buy at least two items from the main dealer for any make of car: oil filters & wipers.

I've found that regardless of the quality/brand of the alternative replacement wipers.... you can end up with noisy squeeky blades.
