I go mine off ebay...

Paid 18.64 they have gone up a little.
I needed to replace as the rubber on the L/H wiper had split. To be fair they did need doing as were starting to streak quite badly :embarrassed:

Thanks for the reminder! Mine aren't great and winters coming.

Found some on amazon, they were £18.74 and £5.84.

I’ve had these on my Amazon wish list for a while. Are they really worth replacing?

I'm replacing mine because I haven't done it since getting the car in March, and they're definitely past their best. :smiley:

Though from previous experience, whenever I've bought a different brand of wipers they've been terrible, so I tend to just stick with Bosch.

Thanks for the replies. I might get some.

On another note, I bought some more Autoglym Polar Blast snowfoam today. It’s on offer at Halfords for £11.70 which is very cheap! Normally £17.

Re the wipers, is it the same set/part number for the 7.5 as it is the 7?

Each time I check compatibility (eBay, Amazon etc) it comes back saying not compatible.  :shocked:

Set ref A864S is what I bought and they are more or less identical to the OEM ones I removed except for the Bosch branding.

Yes, as per watchdogs comment, A282H for the rear.

Boring fact; the Bosch rear wiper is actually very slightly longer than the OEM one.
