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

Hi has eny body tried these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-OMEGA-ESTATE-flat-wiper-blades-WIPERS-REAR-/300328820646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45ecfe1fa6#ht_3735wt_905

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

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.
