Wiper blades - anywhere except main dealers?

[Monkeyboyo]

Sorry for such a dull question !.

Main dealers want £26 for front wipers.

Is that a 'normal' cost?

If not, is there a cheaper source

Thanks for any help !

I usually go for Bosch, but the Valeo stuff is pretty good too. Also worth checking the model numbers that come up when you search for your car on there, as there are some quite competitive, reliable eBay business sellers.

Think my last set was £17 delivered from Wiperblades for Valeo Silencio silicon blades. Last rear blade was about £5 delivered, through an eBay seller.

No worries. Seems that dealer price isn't that far off!

Quite big wipers on the Roomster, must be that large windscreen. Both 21".

I bought these off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SKODA-ROOMSTER-2006-Aero-FLAT-21-21-Wiper-Blades-/280653587436

Exactly as it says "exact fit" no problems, both blades £9.99.

I just tried to fit some these and after 10 minutes of scratching my head I've been forced to conclude that they don't fit (despite what Goodyear claim). Looking at this posting link, it seems I'm not alone.
