Wiper blades ? (Read 2611 times)

rob in gib Senior Member Offline Posts: 529 Gibraltar Gender: Drives: 2.6 saloon (02) auto + (95) toyota 4runner	Wiper blades ? 17. Nov 2009 at 21:14 I believe due to the combination of UV and the dust wiper blades do not last long here usually less than a year So my question is what blades do you guys and girls think are best ie cheapos from auto factor / well known brand such as bosch / main stealers or these new multi blade-flat blade Thoughts please

jerry Omega Knight Offline Posts: 1089	Re: Wiper blades ? Reply #9 - 17. Nov 2009 at 21:28 Ditto;replaced the old ones on the estima with some of the new style flat blades with jet wash off ebay and I do find them better than the traditional style ones I had before. In the past Ive used trad style blades from Bosch and halfords and cant say there was much difference between the two apart from the price!
