Anyone tried these types with the Chimaera screen curvature:

I bought some one piece silicone type blades from wiperblades.co.uk. Been on about a year and they work great.

Excellent, so do they actually wipe the screen all the way across without lifting off near the edges of the screen and are you guys regularly driving in the rain if you don't mind me asking or are yours mainly sunny day cars (wondering if you can vouch for longevity too see).

What did you do with the washer jets ?

Thanks.

The blades I fitted clear all the screen, with the exception of a small patch at the base os the N/S screen pillar - and they've done a fair few miles of crap weather at all speeds.

The washers remain as original as I only changed the blades, not the arms.

I've had the Valeo aero/flatblades on the car for awhile now. As with the original blades, they are not able to follow the curve of the windscreen on the outside of the passenger side, otherwise they're vastly superior to the standard ones.

They're 16"/400 mm with 'universal' fit, one of the applications listed is the Peugeot 206. Parts number ends in 601 IIRC.

Very happy with mine too, although I do tend to take the Tiv out when it's sunny. They are very good in the rain and with the wash wipe (using the std arms).

I asked the question here and got no responses so took a punt, but they are far superior to the originals smile

Sounds good thanks. Looked at your profile pic to see if you could see them on your car but I see you have a picture of how poor the originals are instead, lol. How did TVR ever think it was OK to issue the car with wipers doing that, lol. I guess they thought it was unimportant so long as it cleared the driver's view ha ha. Actually, that's probably exactly why I love TVR !
