Best wipers ?

[andymac123]

I recently changed my wipers for some eBay ones which have turned out to be terrible ! Only lasted 2 weeks and now they are squeaky and smudging ! What wipers so you prefer ????

OEM. Work a treat and don't squeak or smear. Only irritating thing is they come in Left/Right pairs so you can't swap them over if one starts to wear out.

The OEM are pretty good, but my rear one squeaks for no reason.

When I bought my last Leon, shortly afterwards I bought some Bosch Aero wipers, which to begin with were fine. Not too long afterwards, they started to click and squeak and smudge which was a pain in the arse, and I was loathed to replace them given they cost quite a bit.

Recently having bought my new Leon with OEM wipers, I can safely hands-down say that the OEM ones are definitely the best, even though they are pricy.

my point exactly .. uk is known as a sunny state

@Hockey Guy if you have bad experinences with bosch imagine what will hapen if you put ebay aero ones. I can't say they are all bad but 99% of them. I use only VAG ones for 5 euros moire than bosch aero
