Anyone tried the flat aero style wiper blades and are they any good? If so any recommended suppliers?

Re: Wiper Blades Aero
I bought a cheap pair from ASDA of all places, £7 each wiper, but they work well so far - good wipe, no noise no smear.
I had valeo on my e90 and they were smearing within a few months so I don't expect much out of these but so far so good.

Re: Wiper Blades Aero
I bought a ultra cheap set off of the bay, £7 delivered.
They are brilliant. The rear wiper actually clears where it should, and front are quiet and smear free too. Not worth paying loads if these continue to work.

I've just fitted a set from and ebay link earlier. Drivers wipes perfect, passenger makes a little noise on direction change, rear misses a little dead centre of the screen when the blade is near vertical. Looked at the rear when stopped vertical and I can see a very tiny sliver of light. I've now oiled the mechanism and it might get better, we'll see.
These were what I purchased
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X5-e53-99 ... 0625567758
I paid fror 2 sets but only one turned up, and was later that described.Email sent about 2nd pair but no reply as yet. Not impressed with seller
The were dearer than £7 too, whom did you get yours from if I may ask?
