aero wipers

[reedbradshaw]

are thye hard to fit what do i need to fit them ? whats the point in having some ? just that my wipers are knackered ! the blades that is and im going to see if spending a little extra would be worth it

Go to VW and buy one from new polo, inc blade/arm and cover its £25 or so.

Looks nice and clears screen better.

 

[hon_n_gem]

surely the new facelift versions have them anyway? so you can buy from seat too??

 

[Ad Lav]

Yep, except the vw one is cheaper and looks better!

 

[sssstew]

or get a set from wiperblades.co.uk which fit straight onto the arms, easy as.

make sure that you keep your windscreen clean if you upgrade to these new wipers. if you use rain x or equivilant make sure you apply it every time you clean your car, as if you don't BEWARE...it smears to hell in heavy rain making it incredibly difficult to see where you are going! I had to travel at 30mph in a 50 not too long ago, I was not impressed and neither were other drivers

I bought them as an upgrade for my previous car 2001 Polo GTi they made a huge difference. I paid over £55 for a pair inc the arms and came with everything needed to fit to the car.

anyone know the part numbers? think i will treat myself!

i do at home as i had a set . i can definately recommend them. Previous to buying the facelift aero's i had a set of Valeo aero blades on, which were ok, but the full aero wipers are better, think in total came to about 90 quid for front and rear.

 

[hon_n_gem]

If you could post the numbers when you can Ant, that would be great. im half way there. got the back one, which is a bit poor. but im looking forward to front wipers!

the renault megan aero blades fit straight on to the ibiza arms and work perfectly

£30 for a pair, just go to renault and ask for a set off of the latest shape megan

What a relevant topic!! I ordered a pair of the aero blades from www.wiperblades.co.uk (as mentioned above) at around midday on Wednesday and they were sat waiting for me when I got home yesterday! I went for the Bosch ones and including postage cost £26.50 or something.

To fit just unclip the old ones, lift the cover on the new wiper and slide the arm through, then just clip it in. There's a small diagram on the box, and it's dead easy.
The passenger one doesn't seem to sit agains the window when 'at rest' but as soon as they wipe, it must touch as full coverage is achieved. They are silent even when the screen is dry, so i am well pleased.

Just got the standard rear one. Might get the Polo aero one at some point, but not sure I can be bothered with the pfaff.
