Apologies in advance for the dull subject but looking for some thoughts/advice.

The standard wipers bug me on two counts:
1) they lift off the screen at v.high speeds (when off the road etc)
2) the 'innovative' solution for washer jets is not the most effective in the world.

I've done a bit of internet research on this and it seems you can solve 1) by getting the Bosch aerotwin blades, OR 2) by installing the Leven washer jet solution.

Anybody had any recent experiences of either or found anything that does both? I saw the below on eBay which could do it?

Default is to get the aerotwins and slap a load of rain-x on I guess!

I use the ones you linked to and they are fine except the passenger side one is too long. So I bought a set for the cerb which are shorter and use the short one on the passenger side. Still not ideal though

I have the linked ones on my s3 and they are pretty poor IMHO gonna put the Bosch ones back on. They don't stick to the screen or shift water v well.

Bosch Aerotwins plus a couple of "storm wash wipe" jets work by FAR the best out of the many many different options I've tried. Trust me on this! smile
