wiper blades

looking to buy a new set and come across these

has anyone used them?are they any good,or are bosch ones better

 

I'd be wary of those Neil.

First pair I bought were similarly cheap, but after a while ( ) I realised that they were LHD versions, with the aero profile the wrong way round for RHD. Seller (ebay) claimed not to know what I was on about when I queried it later.

This listing of yours claims to fit either LHD or RHD, but I'm dubious, as it doesn't show how they can be reversed. If the profile is symmetrical, they won't work as aero wipers are meant to.

Gen. VW are a better bet IMHO, Polo 6N ones or something fit.

 

thanks for that pete,think ill just get normal ones,theyve done the job to now so may aswell stick with what i know,cheers

 

I have cheapy cheap eBay specials, they're still working fine 3 years later on their second car.

They were also cheaper than the ones in your link, they're pretty expensive compared to others on the bay! []

 

well i thought they were a bit expensive but also thought they maybe so good they were worth that amount,i just find with normal ones i get alot of juddering in certain conditions,not as much now as i fit the relay 99 and have more control over them

 

I put some aero blades on my old mk2 - they weren't cheap ones, but they were miles better than the standard blades for clearing muck of the window. (I now have fitted on the lard mobile too)

 

Buy cheap, buy twice, etc, etc...

GSF will do you a pair of genuine Bosch ones for 20 each, and will last you years.

 

What would I need to convert my girlfriend's mk3 to aero wipers??

 

A pair of aero wipers...

They fit in exactly the same way as standard wipers.

 

i bought some from lidl for 1.99 and they lasted only a few months[:^(]

i know what your saying,bosch have been really good for me in the past

is that bosch aeros or normal stu

 

Should have been obvious really!! Was just that I had heard of maybe needing to change the wiper arms.

Cheers stu!!

 

Not anymore, you just buy the aeros that fit to standard arms.

 

Aeros.

 

cheers

 

Aye - Bosche "retro fit" aero blades on mk3 atm. They are miles better than standard blades. If your really anal I believe there is a mod you can do using a lupo gti wiper arm and a wiper arm from something else (can't remember what exactly) - but the cost is approx 65 and not worth it.

I'm just about to mod the rear wiper arm to a bmw 1 series arm and mk5 golf gti flat blade as the rear wipers on mk3's are utter b0ll0x
