Vanquish Wiper Blades

[simondhol]

After deciding that I wanted some new wipers (push-on type, not hook) for my 2015 Vanquish, I looked around on Google to try and source some.

With no luck, I then asked at a dealer, to which they wanted me to part with £77 of my hard earnt cash. This seemed a little bit steep to me given that a lot of the parts on 'said' vehicle comes from Ford/Volvo, etc.

So this now became a challenge, and after a few hours over a number days, I am happy to report that the set required is,
Bosch Wiper Blade Aerotwin A089S, Length: 650mm/500mm purchased from Mr Amazon for a very reasonable £24.47.

In the end I was more happy with solving the puzzle than the price itself, but 'hey' every little helps!

I thought it was worth a share, as it may save some time in your life that you'll never get back -like me!

Judging by the prices that Aston Martin charge for replacement parts, you would think the Company ought to be profitable!

My AM wipers still look new (not surprised, you never drive it in the rain) but I needed a wiper blade for my Mercedes.
It is a single wiper system.
Went to the main dealer ready to be fleeced, but surprisingly the charge was quite fair at £15.

Well done for persevering.

Worth mentioning on the alternative parts thread at the top of list.

Exactly the same part number as for the later spec wipers on Vantage and on Rapide. I posted the same part number myself about a year ago having done a similar amount of research, and eventually buying them on Amazon for similar money.
