Where can I get some Aero wipers for my mk2 beeza?
She is a '99 model.
Also, are they easy to fit and worth it?
 
Yup, easy. Get Bosch ones, or any other major brand (Valeo etc)... not the cheap ones off eBay. (Been there, done that!) I bought 21 / 19, but they were a bit big on the passenger side. So it's 21 / 18 I think. 13 for the rear...
 
They do fit, but driver's wiper arm needs to swap around with the passenger one. Then put the driver one slightly higher. That way, it just misses the passenger wiper as it wipes... Mine are fine now :)

Ive got 21/19 aero wipers on my car and they went straight on. Didnt need to swap any wiper arms or anything. They are rather close, talking mm's, but they dont touch one bit.

Although I could soon been ditching 2 and going with only 1 :whistle:
 
Yeah I know Craig :(... I had them before on my red one and they were fine, but these I have now are Bosch ones?... Caught on the draining duct thingy on the side of the windscreen...
 
I went for a 21/18 with some adjustment on the driver side as they wudnt wipe properly.

Very easy to fit.

Probably say easier than normal wiper blades.

I got the cheap ones off ebay and still going strong after 10 or so months.
 
as a little additional note, I wouldn't really suggest washing your blades... I lift them up when washing the car, give the fronts of the blades a clean if they're sporting a mass of fly deaths, but I don't clean the blades themselves. That tends to shorten their life and causes drag from my experience.
 
:ban:

silly boy, you dont want to do that. they`ve been discontinued as MOST people dont buy/need them anymore.

Actually, I found a set WITH the rear one as well :cartman:
And i will only be fitting it till I get round to de-wipering it, Dont fancy it looking odd :p

So, will bosch 21/19 fit no worries? That all confused me :confused:
 
ah this will explain whats up with my wipers, one of the previous owners has fitted the wrong size aero blades and decided it was a wise idea to take the arms off and move them up so that in the down position they still sit across the screen its very irritating and looks stupid. i thought i was gonna have to go back to standard blades to get them to sit properly, but i think ill try these shorter ones. cheers guys.
