Halfords are expensive! £25 for fronts and £16 for rear.

GSF do a 20inch and an 18inch Bosch for £4.50 each (I assume they're the fronts?) but no meantion of a rear....

Where else can I get decent wiper blades without paying the earth ?

Try the skoda dealer, for things like this they are sometimes cheaper than you may think.

Ok.

Got to pop in tomorrow morning for the 24k5 update so will ask then.

Cheers Manny

I might still have a new, spare one. I'll check for you tonight.

Im sure the fronts are 24" and 20"

Try wiperblades.co.uk they are generally very cheap

Carl

Yep, Wiperblades.co.uk are good. They'll tell you the size as well if you're unsure, when you enter the car make/model.

Just checked

They are 24" (Driver side) and 19" (Passenger side) for the front

£19.50 for the set for there own blades which apparently got a 4* rating in an Auto Express test

I really need to update my ETKA

Carl

Why not just replace the rubbers? Just done mine cost me £13.30.

Lever the top cap off ( use a small screwdriver), gently prise up the locking tab, slide out the old rubber, cut new rubber to length, slide in,press locking tab in (pliers are usefull) fit new cap, job done

Unfortunately Skoda don't list refills, but VW do.

Part No 1K0 955 429 A you need 2 of them.

I have tried replacing the rubber on the rear wiper, comes apart easily enough but gave up trying to reassemble it

We do Aero ones if that helps?

Sarah

Personally i'd just buy the Bosch ones from the link below. You wont get better ones cheaper
