Windscreen wipers

[ashbreed]

Hey guys,

Been on the site for a couple of months now gaining ideas of what I want to do to my leon.

1 thing that is doin my nut in is the windscreen wipers. They are getting on the stage were they are spreading water rather then clearing it. Where is the best place to get replacement wipers? Is there a specific brand to look for? I had a look in halfords but none of them seemed to match what's on the car currently.

Anyone got any tips?

Euro car parts are cheap, you can always get online discoubt codes for money off. Think parts25 is the normal one. Check amazon too as they sell via them but even cheaper

I would advise the bosch one too, as I have had loads of issues with judder from valeo wipers but think its cos i applied rain x. I am now trialing some angelwax h2go with cheap ebay wipers. H2go is great ebay wipers aren't. Ill be buying bosch next time

I got problems with brand new Champion Aero wipers. They didnt clean windscreen properly and thin water line was in the middle of wiper cleaning area. Have to try Bosch

Sounds more like its your screen. Clean it with neat screenwash and newspaper or white vinegar etc. Use a clay bar and you will probably find it solves your problem. If that doesnt do it use 0000 grade wire wool or a stanley blade glass scraper.
Wipe your blades down with neat screenwash too

Bosch didn't last two minutes on mine. I got the cheaper valeo wipers and they've lasted a lot lot longer than the more expensive Bosch ones.

I got a set of the Vista Pro from ECP and binned them after a month. They were terrible, didnt clear the screen under where it connects to the arms.

cheers Asch at £5.16 each I thought they might be worth a punt , I will pass if the shite

Via a trade card, the halford ones were good esp for about £8 each but im currently running the Valeo Vm420 which are good aswell.

 

[jmc1976]
