    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.

    I just put new ones on mine - Bosch. Nice to be able to see out again without film on the screen!

    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.
