Wipers

I have had to replace two drivers side wiper blades in the past two years (genuine Land Rover) are there any better wipers on the market that last longer than the genuine wipers ?

Mine came as an approved used landrover with new wiper blades. Lasted only 9 months. I've replaced them with Bosch aero twin. Seem good, don't know how long they'll last though. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

These were fitted to my63 plate when I bought it and been very pleased with them. I'd previously fitted them on my Forester, on recommendation and found them to be a huge improvement over the ones that were being replaced.
