Well some one did'nt defrost the car well enough this morning before turning on the wipers and happened to leave the blade on the windscreen Doh ! I mention no names but its the prettier of us.

What blades are folks using, I see alot of options but a good wiper makes all the difference.

The ones from the dealer are not too expensive - I would just go with them.

just put PIAA our new Scooby and got to say really impressed best yet.

Want to fit them to the mini only thing is they don't do them in the mini size with a spoiler I think:(

I have bosch ones and they seem to miss in the middle where the blades cross on the way down, it wipes fine on the way up. Anyone else have the same problem?

I'm not impressed with Bosch either. I'll be going back to MINI ones next.

I've just fitted the Bosch ones and they are working perfectly (so far!) I read on another thread mixed opinion and a item about Halfords possibly having a bad batch. Got mine from Speeding.co.uk

Halfords charge someting like £12.50 for a pair of blades, so I got a full set of refils (front & rear) from John Clark for about £8.00.

Hey, I have the Bosch ones and have that problem. The previous owner must have put them on, i had just presumed that what mini fitted but thats good. will get some new mini ones at the next service. Damn, only a couple of hundred miles away!
