Wiper blade transformation

[ikatoro192]

Five years after finally replace my Elise S MY07 wiper blade "Bosch AR26U Aerotwin Retrofit Flat Windscreen Wiper Blade"
I have to tell what a transformation from original one! I was always annoying wipe noise Gaaaa, Gaaaa and not prefect wipe like frosted glass in the rain and now perfectly crystal clear front screen with absolute silent in action totally amazing I am extremely satisfied in result it's just 10 quid I can't wait the drive in the rain hope heavy rain next Monday.
cheers

also have 3 on my car (not a lotus) and they are really perfect and a update :-)
also when driving fast they stay way better on the window then the "old" type with the iron parts and indeed much quieter.

Will these fit on an old S2? (54 plate)

Sorry if that is a daft question, but I've never had to replace the blades on either of my Elises!

You only had to ask! First thing i did on my Europa!
Shall be putting a pair on the Carlton beast soon!

Dabbled with a couple of other flatblade options but also found the Bosch item the best. The whole blade length is effective and no noise either.

Straight swap, will take about 15 seconds per side and it's a huge improvement.

Per side?

This.






I need to replace mine too.

[plipule]

Is the blade 26"? I had thought it needed a 24".

It is if you have an Elan

You can use either, not sure what the OEM ones are but I used 26" on my S2 Exige

Thanks for this.

Just ordered one for my Elise today off Ebay

[bebee]

Fitted mine this morning, took a day to deliver.
Better fit, better wipe, and they are lighter! and that means much more speed!

Nice recko OP cheers

Just bought this online and road-tested today in horrendous conditions. It's fantastic. Thanks very much for the recommendation.

I also have one of these, totally transformed! I recommend the 24" as I found the 26" lifted slightly at the top edge + the 24" makes little to no different in terms of clearance area and visibility.

By coincidence, ordered the same thing five minutes ago.

The car had something like the above when I bought it, but replaced it with a standard item in the summer, as it was wearing out. The standard item has proved itself to be quite useless though, it always smears!

Another convert here - seems to work well

[scatty72]

After your advice, I also bought one. Brilliant!!!!! A million times better than the ones hanger111 sell for the exige.

Thanks for the tip. Got mine this week and what a difference it has made! No smears and none of the noise of the old one.

[GTRene]

they are indeed that good, I enjoy them every-time when its raining and then remembering how those "old" type with the iron worked or made noises or did not work good and made noises when you went faster then a certain speed.

Put one of these on my new (MY11) elise as the blade that came on it was rubbish and I'd already replaced it with a normal Bosch one, which still left streaks on the screen.

The new one works perfectly Best £14 I've spent in a long time!
