got mine on the cars, worked fine on the 206, on the 406 it left more than triagles - huge parts of the sweep werent covered :cry:

so bent the arms round a bit and now the passenger side works fine and the drivers does on the up sweep but on the back sweep it leaves a 2" wide trail of water for about 3/4" so not sure how to bend it now it works one way :?

One thing I forgot to say was that mine didn't wipe too well at speed - over 70mph say. They're probably better that the traditional types though.

Did I mention hat the Volvo has them (and mist washers) as standard :P

You need Valeo blades, not the cheap Bosch knock-offs. I used a set of the latter for a couple of years and thought it was a godsend, until I got my precious Valeos! Better wiping, no triangles and they don't lift at speeds which would be very illegal on UK motorways :shock:

Actually I've got a set of 24/22 with only a couple of hundred miles on them if anyone wants them cheap? Caveat: I'm lazy so you'll need to collect them from Stoke :)
