Recommended wiper blades

[MaxB]

Hi,
I have a set of 21" Bosch aerotwin on my MK2 and on the drivers side they don't wipe the screen properly at the end of the blade due to the curve in the screen. I have tried a set of conventional style Valeo Silencio blades and these also had the same problem.
Is there any wipers that anyone recommends that don't have this issue or does anyone have any tips for avoiding this issue?

They are the wrong size (well one of them is) one should be 19" and the other 21"

Really? I'm pretty sure on right hand drive clios both sides are meant to be 21".

 

[cat171]

No.

19" and 21"

Clean the rubber and fit then when they're warm and they'll adapt to the curve better

I've got the Bosch AR21UAR21U on mine.

Both 21", no problems really.

Yeah that's what I've got, great wipers but the only issue is that they don't form very well to the windscreen on the drivers side

How much is it missing?

Could try bending the end a bit.

A few inches at the end of the blade, I tried bending it before and that worked for getting the missed bit but it meant that the blade lifts where the bend is in the middle of the stroke and misses a part right in my eyeline

Yeah mine does the same, probably 2 inches maybe.

Doesn't bother me too much tbh.

Not sure of any other way around it.

That's good to hear it's not only me then, I suppose I'll just have to live with it

Stick some rain repellent on the glass.

You use the wipers less then

I have been thinking of that, do you recommend anything particular?

Any of the Gtechniq or Gyeon ones.

Could try RainX, but my previous experience is that it causes blade judder.

Okayyyy, just been reading up about them and found people either say it's amazing or leaves smears and makes the wipers judder

Revive thread!!

anybody know which Bosch Aeros to order from ECP?

I bought some ages ago and just went to fit them to find out they have given me ones for a kangoo.

sizes are correct but the clip fitment is completely wrong.
