Thread: Wiper blades

Not personally but I’m happy with the wiper blades from Wipertech for $69 inclusive of delivery. Front and Rear.

I have the Curveblades on mine. They work well.

I did also at one point have the Bosch blades on the front, which have a similar profile to the Flexblade connector, but while they worked well I didn't really like the height of the connector - they were visible above the bonnet line if that makes sense. A minor point really but I preferred the lower profile of the Curveblade.

Thanks - I think I will get a set.

Hmmm - not so good with the Curveblades. The name is a misnomer to start with! I had them fitted and the end of the passenger side blade would not curve and sit flush on the windscreen - about 10 cm from the end it just sits off the windscreen, so a part of the windscreen would not be wiped.

I then went for a set of Flexblades and they look more or less like the original - except for a great big lump in the middle of them where the fixing mechanism is located I convinced myself that I will get used to the distraction.

The other problem is that the Flexblades do not allow blade refills whereas the Curveblades do.

Try the wiper tech blades. The plastic looks a little cheaper than OEM but other than that they are great.

+1 for wiper blades from Wipertech for $69! Very happy, even if they only last 1/2 to 1/3 as long as long it still works out cheaper
