    Many variables, size, type, branded/generic. What car are they for?

    Think last pair I got was 15 or so? Bosch Super something... from a factors but you can get them online from ebay or even just replace rubber to go even cheaper.

    Dont shop around too long, I put it off for ages because it hadn't rained. Was on the M6 on Monday, rain belting down, the wipers just disintegrated. Luckily I was just about to get an exit. Paid 17.50 for a pair of Bosch wipers in a petrol station in athenry, both were different sizes, luckily they had both

    Have you tried to clean your windscreen with proper cleaner or even white vinegar????

    I had a friend who insisted his wipers were worn out until I cleaned his windscreen

    Yep keep an eye out in Lidl. They have wiper blades in regularly for small money. And before someone starts giving out about Lidl quality I have Lidl blades on my car for ages and they're 100%!

    Someone mentioned here recently that these were for LHD cars and the wind deflector points the wrong way.
