Bosch Wiper Blades

I had the same or worse experience with Bosch and a lot of others. Bosch used to last me about 3 weeks before severe streaking began where the rubber had deformed.

I've settled on Champion (BP petrol stations sell them) at about £6 each, or if I can find them Equip were decent cheap ones that Tesco used to sell (no more though) at £3 or £4 per pair. They seem to last 1-2 yrs.

My experience has been different - Bosch being OK.

Cheers

Bird shit, mostly.

Had a shop around myself lately, cheap ones just don't seem to hack the british weather or incontinent birds quite as well; I find Bosch best both in terms of availability and reliability. There's some interesting info here:

I personally would like to try a few of them with 4 stars, especialy the 'best', which incidentilly is only £12 a pair, pretty good deal!

Ebay is good for wipers too, but my laziness means it's halfords or a motor factors everytime :(

I've had a pair of those TP blades on the Mondeo for 6 months, and they seem ok-ish They were excellent for the first couple of weeks, now they are about the same as the (previous) Bosch ones were at the same age.

The message from Tim S contains these words:

They used to be a few years ago, but these days they ain't up to much.

The message from "Big Brian" contains these words:

You don't live near Heathrow, do you? When we lived in Hounslow blades lasted three or four months at best - it was the fine drizzle of unburnt aviation fuel, I guess.

Do you clean them?

If the other car car is OK with them, I would consider a windscreen replacement. The £50 insurance kind. ;-)
