I've got them on mine, just buy cheap ones off ebay and replace every year!

I hate cheap wipers I'm afraid. I only buy Bosch.
Even if I didn't have so many cars to mean that replacing them every year would be a major logistical operation, I still won't do it.

I've bought some Bosch aero blades for my dc5 and also some ebay specials for the Lude... I've had them before and much prefer the flush look of the single blade, and modern too...

Yeah sorry, a lot of prelude searches flag up images of my ludes it seems :lol:

I prefer the minimalist look of an Aeroblade wiper, but the cheap non branded ones really don't last. I only go Bosch as well, but I'm even getting vibrations from my latest set on the driver's side and I don't think they've been on a year yet :roll:

if you use rain x or similar it will prolong the life of your wipers

I suppose it helps that I only do around 3,000 miles a year in mine, in generally good weather so they get very little use.

Plus the liberal application or rain repellent mean they again only get used at low speed or when setting off!!
