Where to get Bosch Aerotwin Retrofit FLAT WIPER BLADE UPGRADE?

fletch

I'm looking to get a set of Aerotwin Retrofit FLAT WIPER BLADE UPGRADE TWIN PACK 530mm & 475mm either online or in a shop. Wiperblades.co.uk don't deliver to the Republic of Ireland. Anybody know where I could get them?

There are plenty of places on eBay that sell them. Generally speaking the German shops are cheaper than UK ones, and there are some quite large differences in prices, so shop around. There was one where I got the wipers for my C-Max when these wipers were pretty uncommon, and most shops here hadn't even heard of them, and this place came up trumps. They don't seem to be on eBay any more, but there are a few more German sellers there now. Just make sure you select the "European Union" option in the search, and scroll down until you come across the German sellers.

I can't really comment having not used them before however the link does say

"Maximum Screen Wiping Performance

· Tailored spring strips for each vehicle ensure smear-free wiper performance across the entire windscreen.
· Even pressure along the entire blade provides superior wipe quality for improved vision and safety in critical driving conditions such as foggy weather.
· Aerodynamic spoiler provides improved wiping quality, even at high speeds.

Improved Comfort

· Flat, aerodynamic design reduces wind noise
· Improved winter performance – elimination of the metal frame and brackets used on conventional wiper blades reduces snow and ice build-up.
· Easy-to-use ‘Quick-Clip’ adapter for quick and simple wiper blade replacement.

Bosch Quality

· Proven Aerotwin quality used as Original Equipment by leading car manufacturers.
· Longer service life – even contact pressure eliminates points of increased wear and tear.
· Greater resistance to insects and dirt build-up.
· Intensive durability testing in all weather conditions and at all speeds for optimum performance, even in the harshest driving conditions."

They're fitted to my car, and are far superior to the older style blades IMO. There is no skipping, jumping across the screen in light or heavy rain, breezy conditions, motorway speeds etc
They give such a clear cleaning with one, maximum 2 sweeps and definitely seem to wear better.
