As it's been continually poor weather Ive realised on using the wipers that a new set of blades would be a good idea as I'm getting some real noise and little wiper action, streaks and alike being left on the windscreen. Any recommendations on a decent new set would be very much appreciated - especially on the retro fit flat wipers - which look like an option for me at the mo - but I have heard some sets may be better than others.

 

I think the best deal is just to buy the inserts and fit them yourself. It's certainly cheaper, about 1/5 the cost of buying the whole assembly.

 

I got a set from Halfords which were exact copy and well cheap!

 

CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE 2002+ Retrofit Flat Wiper Blades on eBay (end time 25-May-10 12:46:37 BST)

I put a set of these on about 6 weeks ago.

They look pretty sleek and clear the windscreen perfectly. No noise, even when dry!

Only slight niggle is that the passenger blade is slightly longer the=an the standard blades and just touches the rubber trim on the windscreen surround. Not a problem so far. I'm monitoring it and if it seems like it's causing any damage to either the surround or the blade I'll just cut a few MM of the end of the blade. I'll try and post a picture later.

Regards, Andy.

 

Cheers Andy - I've ordered a set of these today so they should be with us by the begining of next week. Thanks to all the folks that responded.

 

I replaced mine with Bosch Evolutions. Best blades I have had on any car hands down!

 

Wiper blades arrived today - suns been out all week - lol.

Easy to fix, look the business and nooooo sound or smears - cheers to AndyD much appreciated.

 

Glad to be of assistance!

Does your passenger side blade touch the rubber surround like mine? It's only by a millimetre or so and I've been through a bit of rain now and it's not causing a problem.

Cheers, Andy.

 

Just a tadd, but nothing to complain about Andy - but I will keep an eye on it just in case.
