I purchased 2 pairs of Trupart aero flat wiper blades from amazon for £20 which had the correct fitting which work better then the oem ones.

I Sometimes get this annoying creaking drivers wiper blade which is caused by the rubber boot surrounding the spindle any one else have this issue.

2 pairs for £20
Sounds a bargain ..... but then again if you get that annoying noise, is it worth it


You might've been better off with the Valeo Silencio

Wiki ref: Silencio (Spanish for "silence")

It's all in the name.

 FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

The wiper blades dont squeek the noise is caused by the drivers side arm itself as it seams to rub on the cowling protective boot that surrounds the wiper arm spindle.

I'll have a look at mine when fitting and see if I can see a potential issue  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Try some silicone spray?

Valeo silencio here too .

Do the Valeo wipers have the same flush fitting OEM type bracket that is currently fitted to mine? I've noticed some look odd and stick out more.

A picture of the Valeo blades fitted to your car would be a big help

I'll get some pics tomorrow.

Here's a pic of the Valeo silencio wipers on my Fl2 ,my wifes Fl2 had some Vistapro ones from Eurocarparts which were clumsy next to the Valeo ones and very brittle if caught when washing etc
