| Re: new wiper blades I've seen the Bosch ones on piv34uk's car and they look very nice. In fact, a lot nicer than the floppy ones I have. Hopefully he'll pop in and tell you which ones they are. |

| Re: new wiper blades hopefully the new ones won't click when they reach the top.only ever happens over 60 mph and it was annoying to say the least. someone's going to tell me off for doing over 60 mph in the rain now aren't they?

| Re: new wiper blades If you want the best blades you can get just get the PIAA Silicon blades. They are brilliant. They coat the screen and last for ages. |

| Re: new wiper blades I made do with Golf ones from my local VW dealer after the local Skoda dealer didn't have any in stock!  Just don't buy the Halfords ones - bleegh. My mother has a Mk4 Golf and the Halfords ones were noisy as hell AND cost more than the official VAG ones! |

| Re: new wiper blades well,they arrived today and took less time to fit than normal ones,they clean the glass like new wipers should and look rather nice i think. looking at the images though i think i need to adjust my nearside one down a bit,never noticed that before. cheers for the input .

| Re: new wiper blades I got my aero replacements from Wiperblades. They turned up the next day, and as above, went on easier than the old ones came off. |
