Does anyone know what the wiper blades are off? I`ve been trying to buy on line and get the `they`re special and you need to get them from a dealer` response. The only `special` element seems to be that the washers are clipped to the metal armature.....Otherwise they just look like 500mm and 480mm `blades ordinaire`.

Thanks - do the washer tube clips fit to these or have you changed them to a different type?

Just been to Halfords and bought a pair of `Bosch Super Plus` blades - 20" drivers side and 19" passenger side and the washer clips fit them OK. However, there seems to be second type of Bosch blade with the same name but a different design which I`m guessing is going to supercede the one that`s a direct replacement for the OEM versions - so if your blades need changing it might be an idea to get some of the old stock now rather than having to modify the washer clips to fit a new blade design....
