Wiper Blades

Firstly, I got them from

Secondly, I have just done a trip from Bristol to Street and back, across the Mendip hills, in rainy weather. They work so much better than the old ones (which were split at 3 out of 4 ends) and were SO quiet, I actually had to talk to the wife (OK, you can't have everything).

So, a word to the wise ... Go out and check your wiper blades. If, like mine, they are showing signs of age or wear, give serious thought to replacing them before the coming winter. Shop around for your favourite brand by all means, but include

OK I just ordered a set for my Vitara...........you better be right.

Not so much a lounge-room lizard, more a toilet duck ...

I hear VERY good things about the PIAA silicone ones - they leave a rainx-like film on the window and mean you have to wipe less often anyway. At =A318 each id expect that though lol.

I think the point is that they last longer too, so you end up with superior wiping and good value. Its just the initial cost thats hard to swallow.

I bought a complete set from Tesco which were a couple of quid and they work very nicely - nice and quiet (the rear took 10 wipes before it was quiet though).

Highly recommended!

after a little wait on stock, I received the Champion set.

Certainly the drivers side (VX48) has graphite impregnated into the rubber and they are very good. Ran them today in the wet/damp/dry conditions and not one scrape did I hear.

Phew!
