Cor, never saw this thread. Had these on my car for about two years now and still going strong.

Found for best results cleaning the blade itself as well as the screen and using some rainX or similar.

EDIT: best place to get them... http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/

Might look at these for the 'maro.  Drivers side started spliting at the ends, just before the MOT.  I just superglued them on the morning of the test to get them through :redneck:

Well They lasted 17 Months and it was the plastic connector doo hicky that broke.
Drivers side was just starting to show signs of wear (smearing the water).


I was concerned with how well made they would be - if the connector would snap etc.. But they are all good, need to referesh the rubber now though so will purchase some more

mine have been on the car for about 18 months now, and are as good as the day they were fitted.


Dad has them on the Tahoe too, with much the same results.

Well I used to buy Bosch these are better in my opinion.
No idea compared to other makes.   I think they just sit better against the screen

Cheaper as well.
