Has anyone upgraded their windscreen wipers? Mine just seem to squirt all over the wipers themselves, and if you’re lucky a bit might go on the windscreen!

These look quite good; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am...

23 sold, anyone on here?

Yep, I've got some of these on - 100% better than the originals and easy to fit.

Look like a very good solution. Been faffing with various wiper/washer variations for years now, and none of them ever seem to work well, i.e not as good as on a "normal" car.

I bought those.

Does take a bit of bending to the blade to get it to fit, and so far haven't got the driver's side perfect (after 6 months of trying) as it misses a small portion annoyingly in the middle.

If anyone a tip or trick to help that would be ace!

Works fine on mine but passenger side is too long, might buy some shorter ones

Gave up on those - nice solution but wrong spec (18" rather than 17" on pax and 19" on driver side), leave a wet patch and knock like anything. They don't scratch the windscreen though. I've gone back to the coiled tubes and 'normal' flat wipers of the right length.
