Had the car 3 months approx and the rear wiper juddered from the off, changed it yesterday for a cheap Bosch blade and what a difference, a mate has had his car 6 months and it has done the same from new so I picked up two actually, fitted his and all clear, anyone else found the one fitment crap?
Rear wiper.

As far as I know the standard ones Seat use are also Bosch.
Bosch are definitely not that good to be fair, Valeo seem to be much better.

Had the car over 3 years now, and yes the original rear wiper judders like mad. Surprised to hear others with same experience. Will have to replace.
I bit the bullet and ordered a new rear wiper. Thought my fronts needed replacing in the heavy rain today. Lots of streaks. I'll clean and see how they are.
Replaced my original front wipers some time back. Replaced with original wipers as factory fitted. Still some slight smearing from them from new!
Always found in the past that original wipers fitted at the factory at manufacture were the best (no matter what make of car) even if I replaced them with original make and type.

our front one split so whilst getting them sorted did the rear aswell that has always juddered and made a hell of a racket. New ones are bosch, no streaks or smears and completely silent. Used carparts4less and the code WINTER10 to get 10% discount. ( not sure if code is still valid now)
The Heyner ones (16/26") I replaced at the beginning of the week are far superior than the originals, perfect wipe, silent and no smearing and only £18.99 on Amazon.
Fitted new rear wiper blade. Bought from dealership (no expense spared), and no more juddering. Great
Thanks for the advice on the front wipers. When I next replace the front I will give the Heyner (16"/26") a try.

My rear wiper judders loudly, which can give me quite a start when I'm reversing and the radio volume is automatically lowered for the parking sensors!
Looking to purchase the Valeo 574612 WIPER BLADE SILENCIO X.TRM REAR VM265 from an eBay seller for £6.31, hopefully they live up to their name!

Should improve the noise. I have the same rear wiper and noise now gone. Don't mind the rear convenience wipe now when selecting reverse.
