Best windscreen wipers

[SlowRider]

Car originally had Bosch wipers fitted but I didnt find they worked too well. Use the cheapest Halfords ones now which seem to work quite well for a month or two, but then deteriorate.

They then start leaving smears along the line of where the little metal feet that hold the rubber. Are there any makes that work better?

Cheers

Just get some new Bosch ones with spoilers for driver side and also buy some Rain-X

I dont get this rainx thing. Everyone raves about it, but it doesnt seem to make that much difference to me. Perhaps I am not putting enough on.

Use lots and ' splash it all over '!
Brilliant stuff.

Ok, if I can sort it out, how many of you would be interested in some curved wipers from PIAA? www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipers.asp - towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks,

Steve

I would! My brother had some PIAA silicon jobbies on his Scoob - damn fine wipers.

Me too, i need new blades anyway.

Yes please!

Apple for the teacher

I think I'd need a few more than the four of us to convince them to make up the curved wipers for us. Obviously the same wipers would fit a Griff, but would they fit a Tuscan/Cerb/Tamora/T350 too?

Moderator types, please move this thread to General TVR ... please

Count me in!

[bashs04]

what about looking at the wipers that they use on the old saab 900 - that had a really curved screen - and when I owned one I dont remember the wipers being a problem?

[woody_450]

Has anyone tried those Aero Wipers?

I fitted them to my Audi S3, they work excellently on that. Just a thought because they're quite curvy, but the drawback is that they'll need new arms as it isn't the same wiper fitment...

PUT ME DOWN FOR A PAIR.

[rbryant]

Yep, me too

[Steve_T]

I spoke to PIAA. Regarding the SAAB wipers they agreed yes they're curved, but said a larger blade is used because of the larger screen, so it may not be possible to get these to fit. Regarding screens on TVRs, they felt it unlikely TVR would change screens between cars since the tooling costs are huge, therefore something that fits a Chimaera or Griff would also fit a Tuscan, Tamora or T350. This would mean a larger market for PIAA and therefore it's more likely they'd produce something to suit TVRs.

Here's hoping it works out,
Cheers,

Steve

Thanks for trying.
If it comes off, i'd like a pair.
