Anyone fitted Aero Wipers?

[Cockey]

To be honest I'd never heard of them until last weekend when I noticed them on my dad's Golf.

They're really flat



These are the proper aero wiper arms and blades. Cost was something like £80:



These are retro fitted blades that fix to standard wiper arms.



They are naturally bendy so they might fit the Tuscan screen


As I drove off in the Tuscan it made me realise how ugly and bulky the standard wipers are, and these aero ones might look pretty good. However in a funny way, I'm so used to the big bulky wipers that I'm not sure I like these aero ones yet

Has anyone fitted them to a Tuscan, and do they look any good?

Aha! Thanks for that. Did a search but didn't come up with any results...

I have them, they still dont fit the screen that well on the passenger side when parked. I used a shorter one on the passenger side to overcome the problem

I have them fitted and also dispensed with the awful washer pipes by fitting some aftermarket nozzles into the washer pipe holes. Got them from Halfords and they work really well and look sleek too.

Had aero wipers on mine for years now.

I tried the halfords washer nozzles in the pipe holes and they were useless. When driving along at anything above 50 mph the wind would just blow the spray down onto the base of the screen and not actually onto the screen.

Replaced now with a couple of these from demon tweeks which work very well, discreet and good quality.

So they just clip to the standard wiper arms?

Can anyone recommend a brand for the aero blades?

Yep. Bosch AeroTwin

ASDA are currently selling them for 3 each ! reduced from 7 I would go for 21" drivers / 16" passengers

Not sure what brand the ASDA ones are, but from experience Bosch make by far the best quality wipers, even though they're usually the most expensive. I will always pay the extra for Bosch simply because they work and last so much better.

Any pics to show us all? Be great to see what they look like installed.

Also, where did you get yours and how much did it cost?

I just fitted the tesco £7 ones the same as i have run on all my cars for the last 2-3 years and find them first class. I bought a set of 3 pattern nozzles from e-bay I think off some Jap car for less than a fiver and i am very pleased with them so far, Just like a real car now. lol

As above i could do with a slightly shorter on on the passengers side as we have the same Issue on the Cerbera with the windscreen shape
