[beezertart]

Woohoo,today my wipers arrived at least something has! post office tossers!!Anyway,off i trot all excited re the possibility of decent vision,sad i know.....
so off come the old and as per pics,well can't really go wrong,on they go 20"passenger side,19" drivers,gave em a quick test and was getting some water drag on down stroke drivers side, not loads but was hoping for none given the write ups for aero's,then noticed slight overhang onto window rubber passenger side so thought i'd swap em round,better fit but still getting water drag,any ideas why,otherwise ok.Am i just being over optimistic about their abilities or misreading the write ups or likely to be wiper arm,looks ok but spose if slight bend not gonna be right????,aargh had enough this week!!! any thoughts?

I'm still awaiting delivery off mine

I found that the standerd wipers dragged and that on my windscreen. Used that mer windscreen cleaner and it said to put a tad on the wiper blade.. Made a huge difference but its still does it. x

I thought the Bosch wipers I got last week were dragging, turns out I'd bought 22" instead of 20" by mistake and the blades were catching on each other. Sorted it out with a hacksaw!

Well I got a set of the Aero wipers from Ebay for a total of £12 (cheaper then standard bosch ones) and they work a treat. They do make a bit of noise when the windscreen isn't vey wet but they work VERY well.
