|  Experiences with 'Aero-Wipers'? I've found a set of Aero Wipers for a Skoda fitment on ebay for £55. What are peoples experiences with them? Are they much of an improvement/quieter? Worth the money?

| Re: Experiences with 'Aero-Wipers'? I had them on my Octy2. Much much better than the wipers on my furby, and well worth a few quid for a decent set. I wouldn't just buy any old thing though :-/

| Re: Experiences with 'Aero-Wipers'? Mine are fine and I've covered 19,500 miles so far. They seem to be able to adapt to the contours of the windscreen better than the non-aero wipers on my previous Octy, so they do a decent job of keeping the screen clear. Mind you, that might just mean that my previous car's wipers were woeful...

| Re: Experiences with 'Aero-Wipers'? got a set of 'kwik-clip' Bosch AeroTwins off ebay for £30 for my Octy vRS, and they're superb. Much better than standard ones, and I for one kinda like the cool whooshy noise they make when you wipe at speed.
