Tesco £3 Flat Blades

[Sash]

Croc of shoite.

Had them on 2 months and the plastic bit which attatches to the wiper arm has cracked :dapprove:

Anyone else's broken?

 

[Brett]

The clips are s**t. I foiund it hard to get it to clip in and stay in.

 

[NED FLANDERS]

:slap: what do u expect for £3 ?!

 

[guysy]

Was going to try these, Ebay £10 a pops last me about a year.

 

[b1lly]

haven't had a problem with mine, they're about 3 months old and have been used lots here in we(s)t wales

 

[Sash]

I cant believe they could sell something that is so fragile?!!

 

[GazM]

Bought some tesco wipers for the missus' fiesta and they rusted within a few weeks. Won't be buying them again. Well worth spending a decent amount on wipers imo as they just annoy me if they're cheap and squeek alot (or rust)

Have you checked them recently?

 

[-J-]

Had mine on for the last 7 Months and only issue i had was when I snapped a blad in half while cleaning the car.

Other than that they have been fine

 

[White16valver]

I've tried these and the £1.50 normal jobs from tesco.

These flat ones sweep nicely and are quiet, but bend up in the wind on a Mk1 at motorway speeds, therefore making them useless.

The normal ones work ok but make a stupid amount of noise unless it's pissing it down and the screen is well 'lubed'.

Overall, proper blades are needed!

 

[geordieracer]

Have some of these on the pug, and they are great to be honest, even more so when you take into account I got them absolutely free, courtesy of vouchers lol

 

[TOGUSA]

had a pair on mine fo about a year now, i cant say i have any problems with them they are just great!

 

[kev1]

valeo flat blades are very good, iirc wiper blades should be changed every 6 months or so anyway

 

[Sash]

Are we all talking about the Tesco £3 Blades here? or just flatblades in general?

 

[RDP197]

Got further than I did, Tesco ones were absolute crap! I couldn't work out which connector to use for the 197, nothing seemed to work - and then the connectors snapped when trying to figure it out. Back to the Valeoones I went, straight on the car and now I can SEE when it rains! Can't fault them.

 

[MarcoB]

I got some genuine GM flat blades on the corsa and they have been on for longer than a year...

 

[H182]

I've just got some, no problems fitting but they seem to curve too much so the middle isn't touching the screen fully, hence missing. I'll take them back and get some others.

:slap: what do u expect for £3 ?!

Just what i was going to say..lol

 

[Sash]

Just got myself a £3 refund lol and the original ones are back on the car for the time being untill i can order some bosche ones.

 

[VeinAST]

How did you manage to get the right ones too as Tesco don't sell 21" wipers...?

 

[Sash]

They had all the sizes iirc.

 

[VeinAST]

They had all the sizes iirc.

My Tesco sucks then :dapprove:

 

[msisleman]

Had them on for about 6 months or so. Then started to smear so went back to a standard set of Bosch.

Oh and Tesco only sell the 20" and 22" (nearest to 21") and the 22's worked fine, better sweep then standard 21's.

 

[Gaz_]

LOL

Got a refund for £3. Hope it wasnt a special journey?


You get what you pay for. Never scrmip on wipers or tyres imo.

Don't bother with the Bosch ones. They miss at the edges.
Get Wiperblades.co.uk ones. They are £15 a set.

[Gaz_]

[msisleman]

The tesco ones don't fit the 197s/Mk3s..

Should be pretty obvious once you remove the old wipers...

 

[Tigger]

Do they do Bosch ones?

 

[Aaron182.]

ive been using the flat ones for ages now. Ive always put a drop of super glue on the clips to make sure nothing comes off. Never had any squeeking etc..... but i do have rain-x on my screen. current set have lasted at least 5 months

[superbenji88]

[sgtbash999]

i've had my car for 2 & 1/2 yrs now and have yet to change the front wipers! lol

 

[henryp]

had 2 sets in about 10 months? both been perfect

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mine are shite, don't wipe the shite off, smear at the edges and like to lift off the windscreen when going above 40.

 

[adam172]

ahhhh tesco cheapness u gotta love it.

saying that had mine on for nearly a year now with no problems atall apart from when i brought it i snaped the clip getting it out the pakaging, superglued it back and as i say its been fine

 

[p@blo]

Mine are also fine-can't argue with the quality so far considering they only cost £3 a pop

 

[RDH]

Had mine about 4 months and have been perfect, can't fault them for 3 quid tbh.
