**Floppy aero wiper blades**

[Fl@pper]

*Stop* right now

before you go buying the new floppy aero style wiper blades off the newer models and blowing cash on the matching arms to fit them - yes the frame less ones that look like a squeegee

i have on good authourity that a certain manufacturer has currently added them to their latest model range and as they have a substantial after market division the word is that they are about to release a full size range of the wipers with std current style fittings/adapters

no price/fitting info as yet but pending asap

watch this space

ohhhh.. interesting... keeping me fingers crossed then.

 

[driveforward]

Interesting... fingers crossed indeed

ye me 2 - especially as it will solve a few £££ going to waste and open up mods to al cars

for those that are unsure what they are

 

[Scotty_b]

sounds good to me!

 

[Fl@pper]

still awaiting details as dealer is unaware of them available as usual

nowt new there then

have since been made aware that VALEO have recebtly released the same specs so looks like they are sourced from them anyway - hunting down a dealer/supplier as we speak

For the aftermarket, the Flat Blade will first be offered in a range of 44 part numbers that will not only fit the production cars that came with them as original equipment, but also most late-model Citroens, Fords, Opels, Peugeots, Renaults and Volvos originally fitted with a conventional arm. The Flat Blade wiper is quickly and easily installed with a user-friendly lock/unlock mechanism.

you'll notice the mention of several manufacturers above and these are also the same ones that have released teh range as part of their own aftermarket systems - can anyone say CONTRACTED SALES

Full read here

an old release - but just about hit UK at last

I found the Valeo website after you post. Sounds good and I would think cheaper than buying and modding Audi one's.

More info needed ...

I know that the local Halfords stock Bosch versions of the floppy wipers.

Not sure which models they fit as I was in a rush and spotted them on the way out.

i now know Renault list them with universal fittings - got sizes list here but stock will back order

Valeo and Bosch seem to as well

i'll get stuck in and list some sizes per car and get some part numbers listed

any other info you can get - gimme a shout - all helps

Valeo don't have current plans for a Leon aftermarket Flatblade "XTrem" branded, but I know they have plans for VW/Audi. Maybe a slight mod can get them onto a Leon and Ibiza as the Standard blade is common thoughout the VW group cars (Valeo VM107 Drivers and VM23 Passenger).

 

[Fl@pper]

well i dunno about "Xtrem" but the Flat blade " ultimate " is available now with universal aftermarket fittings from valeo

my main problem is finding a supplier with a decent stock
