Wiper blades by MrB

Not wanting to rob the Lidi Wiper Blades thread, has anyone tried a set of these http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ABD-Retro-Fit-Aero-blade-21.html

They are the aero blade type.

Have these as standard on most new cars these days - they have performed well on my Civic and lasted well too.

Just wanted your thoughts/findings really.

Oh and is 21" the correct size for both sides?

I got mine from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AERO-FLAT-WINDSCR ... 2c5178b56b

I'm very impressed with them, they have been on the car for a good 6 months and show no sign of wear, no squeaks etc so very good imo.
as you will see you need 22" for both sides not 21".

hope this helps.

:cheers:

I can only tell you that these are the one's I ordered and they are 22" both sides, whether they are shorter on a saloon I don't know but think not. :confused:

Maybe your's are "TooShort" so a user name change could be imminent :gmc:

I brought a set from my local trade supplier for less than £2 a side, but they don't have the correct clips with them.
So I had to use the old clips!! But they are as good as a £20 set :eek:

Will get another few sets when I next pay a visit.

:clap: very funny :lol:

Just did a search on the Halfords site and yes i should have 22" ones not 21" :panic: but i am sure 1" will not make much of a difference (well thats what the wife tells me)
