Best Wiper Blades?

Both of my blades are shot and i'm wondering which are the best blades to buy?

I know a couple of people on here invested in the new flat type, are they worth the money and do they work? Also do they come with the spoiler for the O/S blade?

Yo Pris......

You tried just cleaning the blades and treating the rubber ????

Ok so maybe the treating bit is a lie, because I don't know what the chemical used is ! ! ! lol

Vinegar on a cloth and then pinch and drag for the clean and you will be surprised how much better they work !

Never tried that, but both are split and the rubber is hanging off so I won't be able to on this occasion.

Will try that next time though...

Bosch,I've used them for years and never had a problem,also use the Halfords own version of Rain-x,makes the blades more efficient and prolongs there lifespan.

Best bet, stick with original style wipers. The new flat balde ones I tried were.......toss.
