after some new wipers

[scott1205]

what are the best without spend a load of money

 

[r_dizzel*]

tesco flat blades are quite good

 

[StevieG-09]

What size fit the clio? The flat blades come in different sizes like 16" 19" etc. IIRC anyway!

 

[r_dizzel*]

19,20,21 iirc

 

[StevieG-09]

So anyone of them sizes will be fine?

 

[r_dizzel*]

ive got 20" on my clio...

so let someone confirm that im correct

 

[StevieG-09]

Ahh well if one person has got them on then im sure we will all be fine!
Nice one mate!

Don't work right for me, leaves a gap right in the middle as the wiper bends too much :S

 

[m4rkie23]

i dont think there is a perfect flat blade for the clio is there?
mine dont work properly.

 

[H182]

The bosch ones worked perfect for me till they wore out, but £30!

 

[m4rkie23]

exactly. bit much reali aint it. therefore not perfect.

how long did they last?

20" is standard iirc, but 21" is apparently a better size to go for.

About 12months which is the same as the cheapo £15 ones I got off ebay. Better off buying them.

Have to agree with the Bosch wipers, there excellent, perfect fit, silent and they work, but a little pricey.

Tried the Tesco ones but after a couple of weeks they squealed like there was a piglet stuck in the engine bay, and left massive streaks. I may as well have leaned out of the window and used a tissue whilst driving lol

 

[m4rkie23]

anyone link to wipers that they would honestly recommend for affordable cash and that last a year or so. (not tesco ones)

 

[richy22]

I had Bosch ones too..got them discounted off my mate at £22 or something.

they are now starting to f**k up though. And they rattle like f**k when you hit 120 jelly beans *

*was at a trackday before anyone says

 

[Greeny.]

Tescos one for like £3 each, done.

 

[m4rkie23]

rather pay a little more if they are squeaky. especially if its pig frequency.

One's for tesco are shite, squeal, leave smearing over the windscreen, don't lift dead flies and s**t and lift off at 60.

The bosch ones I got from joshhatton off here were pimpin.

 

[the_prophet]

tesco ones are s**t, bosch aero blades are good but the trico neoforms are the best by a long way. thats what im using. slightly expensive but, i like to be able to see when im driving.

 

[Darren85]

Just ordered my fronts and rear wipers from http://www.wiperblades.co.uk got the flexi aero ones (own branded) and they are the dogs! After the last few days of rain I have had down my way, really put them thru their paces and IMO they work a treat.. and they are pretty well priced too.. £18ish all round! FTW!

[m4rkie23]

cheers! do they lift at the ends at high speed? and do they clear the windscreen the whole length of the blade? i.e. they dont miss bits where the blade is bent, or not touching the windscreen at the ends equally?

 

[Darren85]

^^^ Done pretty high speeds and they not moved a mm, stuck to the screen perfect, they do slightly miss at the end of the drivers side blade where it sweeps up the outside, but only ever so slightly, but nothing that is really noticeable tbh

 

[m4rkie23]

kewl. cuz mine miss about 2" of it. and if i bend them to counteract it, the middle of the wiper misses lol.

im obviously not a very good bender.

 

[Darren85]

Haha.. I take it you have the normal solid wipers? they have a tendency to do this after a while, I would go for the flexi ones like I already said and linked you up to, can't go wrong really circa £6 a side :rasp:

 

[m4rkie23]

no i have the bloody aero ones (obviously not bosch. but they were about the £15 mark). maybe i had a bad set? who knows. the bet they wipe they wipe perfectly. just not enough

 

[Darren85]

£15.. Ouch.. haha.. well all I can say is that these ones are pretty decent, they have done a good job over the last few days or torrential downpour lol

Just get some from your local motor factors, I paid about £17 for all three some crappy brand but they are absolutely fine.
