Best wiper blades?
« on: 02 March 2014, 11:02 »
I have just noticed the rear wiper on my 60 plate Gti has split,so I am going to swap all 3 blades.
Any recommendations as to the best brand to buy and any good dealers you could suggest?

I was thinking maybe Bosch,possibly from German,Swedish,French car parts or whatever its called now?

Lastly,is this a good enough reason to trade it in for a MkVII Gti? :grin:

Thanks for any replies.

Bosch Aerotwin  :cool: 

One will cost you about £20, the other circa £30k - your choice  :grin:

Dont buy a mk7 the wipers on them are poor, squeak, judder they are pitiful and really annoying.
Buy some new blades for the mk6 any of the places eurocarparts I think sponsor the forum iirc  :embarrassed: so may even do a discount code..
