I suppose what he might be asking is, what have other people fitted and were they happy with them, also, did they come from eBay. 8-)

The ones I get are standard ones, ones in the link are aero which I've not tried. I give them a wipe every so often with white vinegar. Set I've got on have been on for just over a year and are still good. I've got a set ready to go on coz I thought were were gonna get a load of snow and ice which buggers the blades

I havn't used the old style wipers for years these aero wipers are far better.
Like phill said you have to get one for the rear now !
BTW it is 18" for the rear not 16" :poke:

Goodyear recommend 16", just checked what is currently on the rear and that's 17" but the top bit misses so 16" will do.
