Aero Wiper Problems

[Sam20v]

I got arms and blades from VAG Parts. well good service, but cannot remember how much they were.
i cut my blade down and that was about 1 1/2 yrs ago...only just gotta change them now.....not a big issue to cut them down.....depends on if you have patience....my experience of the modding fraternity is that if it aint instant it aint worth doing.......but if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing properly!

the only thing i can think of is bum blades.....if the rubber is old and perished it wont flex with the window or turn over smoothly on the back wipe.......are they new blades? they should be well supple!

I have them on my car and think they are rubbish! They Kangaroo up the screen and have done since new (two sets now)

Did they come as standard with your car mate?

My friend has them on his 02 Bora (non standard) and says they're not all that much different... so I'm unsure as to whether or not I should switch over... my standard blades I have no problem with.

Yeah mate totally standard, and they are some times noisy (compared the the wipers I had on my former Toledo)

I'm using standard bosch blades from Halfords and they wipe cleanly and don't make any noise. Only cost me £20 all in...

I have those also, and they make no difference on my car tho.

The ones I had on my car where so bad it is was untrue! They had split rubber and smeared so bad!

 

[CHR15B]

I'll give them a miss then.

You referring to aeros or boschs?

 

[CHR15B]

Aeros. I fitted Bosch ones (Same as OEM) with my 30K service and have no problems with them.

 

[Nathanio]

Ahh ok so you prob got same ones as me!

I must say the new Bosch ones I got are more floppy than previous ones i've brought and better shaped from the box. They definetly clean the screen better

 

[CHR15B]

Yeah - I have no problems with my current ones so rather than having problems regarding price, bumpyness and size I'll stick to the standard ones.

I'm considering these myself, just don't fancy the idea of paying £100+ just to have a better screen wipe.

deffo worth it dude.
So much better, no lifting at 85/90mph

I fitted a set of Mk 4 golf arm's and floppy blades to my LCR about 6 weeks ago, have to say they are fantastic; smooth, silent and clear the screen perfectly, (and they look 10 times better than the standard ones too).

 

[CHR15B]

bosch have realeased aero wypers that fit onto the oem arms now

 

[stuart_hatch]

Well my aero wipers still really suck
