david1 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have seen recently flatbade wipers with adaptors for sale on flee ebay. You know the flexible type aparently they just fit straight on. Just wondering if any one here had taken the plunge and tried them and what were the results. I bought some new original Bosch blades but they still vibrate across the screen particularly when dry. Could it be that the arms are bent? Or could I try these new style ones?

ant Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 i was tempted with those but opted for conventional ones in the end..... if you buy some let us know what they are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 You might be better of cleaning the screen properly with some wirewool and then polishing it. Thats what I do and I've got the Bosch wipers which perform great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgolfer1 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Bought a set of those wipers,Bosch aero-style, I think thats the technical phrase for them!And they work really well,no noise at all,wet or dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettadeluxe Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've got some of those 'aero' blades, they are toss, they miss big patches of the screen even though they are 'pre' curved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Don't know if mine were aero or not; they're still good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ska please explain the wirewool bit I have visions of scratches and scrapes. I have a tin of autoglym glass polish which I can use, but the wirewool?. My passenger side wiper is curved maybe I ahould get a straight one.

Ska Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It needs to be curved don't change to a straight one You can clean with wire wool but make sure the screen is well lubed. Try an inconspicuous area first and don't apply too much pressure (a good indication if you need to wire wool is the area that wiper doesn't sweep is visibly different to the sweep area). But first try polishing it with the AG polish - I'd work it in with a rotary polisher the buff off and remove the blades and clean them properly. I think Steelwind did a post in the cleaning area about wiper blades a while back. Use the wire wool as a last resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
