Which Wipers?

Hi everyone,

My wipers are due a change after having the windscreen replaced a few months ago. Which makes are the best? I've researched Bosch and Valeo etc, but I wondered what you guys use?

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Chris

I got some from halfrauds - cant remember which but a good brand ( Boche I think ). Cost a fortune but it does mean you get a good wipe.

Had cheaper ones before and while they where good they where noisy... point is - good rubber is worth it.

I bought some Halfrauds ones a couple of years age, I had them a week before I binned them, the only wipers I've ever known screech on a wet screen, on a dry screen they never made a sound, but when it rained they were terrible.

The ones from Opie Oils have have received favourable comments. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

I've just replaced mine with a set of Valeo branded ones after reading the positive reviews on here. My local dealer wanted 46 pounds for an oem set and i managed to get him down to 36 pounds, but ended up getting the Valeo VM399 wipers for 24.10 from Euro car parts.

It won't hurt to get a quote from Dan@Duckworths - you may be surprised.
I recently bought a set from them recently.
