Re: Best wiper blades
I had some cheap ones that didn't last long. With the benefit of that hindsight I've now got Bosch ones on and they've been very good.
These are the Bosch ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-24-22-Bos ... 41632ea03b
(There are cheaper pairs but they don't have the spoiler on the driver's side.)
Someone on here recommended these flat ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160614906104? ... 1423.l2649

Re: Best wiper blades
Tie a pair of wet kippers to your wiper arms. They'll do better than cheap blades, especially flat ones 
Pay for Bosch or Valeo flat blades, and if your wiper arms are still springy, you'll be VERY happy with them. I rate the Valeo ones at about 40,000 miles (lasted 3 years), and the Bosch at at least 20,000 (2 years so far, still going well), but the Bosch perform better. Tesco own brand flat blades are poor to start with and are useless within 3 months.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: Best wiper blades
I think maybe the kippers are a bit of a red herring 
I have the Bosch ones on and I'll have the same again if and when the ones I have wear out.
Never tried flat ones.

Re: Best wiper blades
flat ones i thought were terrible . i took them straight off when i tried them last year
wether its cos i got cheap ones i dont know but i wont buy flat again.
then i tried good year. same rubbish . smears all over screen.
now i have valeo ones on . valeo were good for first month and now they smear bad .
bosch are by far best ones in my opinion.
