Windscreen Wipers

Hiya,

Thanks in advance

Don't!! Get the oems from the dealer. I had these for 6 months and they were utter rubbish. Noisy and just moved water around. Replaced with Vw ones which are still like new over a year later

Just seen this thread.

Agreed - the VW OEM ones look exactly the same, so stick with them. I bought them last week but for the life of me, I couldn't find the invoice so having to work on bank statement, which means the pair of front wipers was £28.95 (including VAT). Easy to fit but I found the connecting part was a slightly different design to the ones that came on the car. Not noticed any impairment on performance.

Sorry confused, do you have the OEM ones or the Bosch ones?

Are they as good as the OEM ones?
