Anyone know where is best place to get new blades? and are they the same as the polo / fabia? / any diff in price?

cheers!

I'm also needing a new set - I have the facelift model with the aero wipers. I'm led to believe they are £28 from the dealer. If you have the std wipers (not aero) I would recommend the bosche aerotwins from most places (Halfords do them).

I was in Halfords and see they do their own brand aero for the Golf, need to measure mine and check the fittings to see if they fit although I don't think they were much cheaper then the dealer! Ebay didnt return anything for the aeros!

Just replace mine for flat areotwin type , was recomended on here. www.wiperblades.co.uk cheap ,fast delivery no problems. took me 5 mins to fit too.

 

[PaulieB]

how do i tell the difference between the Aero and non Aero? Mine just look like a floppy piece of rubber (no weird mechanism behind them)

 

[bukem]

That's Aero

 

[PaulieB]

Ah ok, cheers.

on halfrauds im coming up with hatchback, front set (1/2001 onwards) - Bosch Aero Twin Blade Set 928S 21/19
itemcode: 500249-0 (searched for polo for this one)

Although when i went on wiper blades.co.uk i got



Bosch - SP21/19AS
Super Plus TWIN PACK with 21" SPOILER and 19" CURVED Wiper Blades

and when clicking the pictures they looked completely different mechanism...

Your car had Aero wipers as standard PaulieB. In that case, the ones at wiperblades.co.uk are of no use to you because these are upgrade kits for people with non-aero wipers. IFAIK, wiperblades.co.uk don't stock standard aero ones so you may need to go to your dealer, GSF or possibly halfords.

Ah dammit, only SEAT dealer is 35miles away, unless i goto Arnold Clarke, which i really don't want to do!

Gather there is no point trying a Skoda or VW garage?

 

[bukem]

Yeah you could try VW. They could be the same size as the Polo 9n wipers.

got retro fit aeros from wiperblades.co.uk too very good and turned up next day, I'm impressed and the wiper are brilliant. No messing about driving to a dealers waitng for them to come in stock then having to drive back and get em.

I fitted my new Bosch aero wipers from wiperblades.co.uk but the passenger side one doesn't seem to press hard enoguh against the screen. There is a small patch right in the middle of the windscreen that doesn't get wiped. Anyone else had this problem?

 

[ScottHmk4]

whats the best brand of aero wipers? lookin for a set myself

 

[spyke85]

Valeo aero wipers fitted to mine, retro fitted from wiperblades.co.uk Have to say they are super!

 

[bobmcgod]

I have halfords standard wiper on my passenger side and bosch one on drivers side (not aero) and the halfords one is rubbish compared to the bosch blade. So you know don't get halfords own.

Halfords now doing the aero wipers for the facelift Ibiza - got me a set at the weekend for £18. Working well so far and it's been proper raining round these parts recently! Time will tell if the quality matches the low price!

is that the OEM Aero wipers or retro fit?

Kriso< I also got the Bosch aero wipers from wiperblades.co.uk & they don't sit that well. The far passenger side (by the tax disc) is lifted at standstill but when the wiper actually moves it must make contact cos is clears the window OK.
The middle of my screen is OK.
I have not been that impressed by the Bosch ones so will probably try Valeo next. The Bosch ones were great for about a month, then started getting draggy & noisy, even with varying intermittent thingy they are still noisy....

They are Halfords branded but are the OEM fitment (click in, not hook on!) Aero wipers for the facelift Ibiza's. The also fit the newer POLO's.

Just got new aero wiper arms and blades for mine - all genuine SEAT parts, blades were £9 each.
