Taran - I've fitted the aero blades to mine and they do make a difference, also less noisy too.

The only thing I don't like is the design of the wiper arm which was for the original wiper and so it sticks out a bit when you have the aeros fitted on (hard to explain without me showing pics).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have just noticed that my wipers are crap and have a constantg film of water. I wanna get them replaced but no idea on makes expected prices and how easy to change them.
Any one got any suggestion as the weather is turning grim and on the motorway it is a nightmare.
Many thanks

Agree too.. Bosch is the way forward. Unless im mistaken it is the OEM brand manufactures such as BMW, Merc and I think Porsche too use?
Got mine changed last week. The Drivers side is "Bosch 22S". Make sure you get the one with the "spoiler blade" to stop the blade skipping at high speeds.
Anyone tried the retro-fit Aero blades?
I usually get my blades from

On the 996, are both the blades 22" long?
Cheers

It might also be good to fit an aero blade to the back too- if for no other reason than it would make it less likely to scratch the paint when washing like the normal ones :x
When you wash the car, often one stands the rear wiper up to wash the back window.
If you don't put it back down v carefully, or knock it back down when washing, it can spin round and put a nice scratch down the rear wing with the end of the wiper blade (as I learned to my cost).
The best thing it just to pick it up a couple of inches, wipe under it, and gently lower it down again.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
