I got a set of cheap £8 flat wiper blades from E bay, for the Lexus, and they have been great !

I’ve had no issues with them, they work well, and make the car look that little bit newer !



Some one at work was telling they paid £20 for a normal set of wiper blades and I just

I disagree with Jambo. Corsa C wipers on my B were fantastic. And the ones on the Punto are even better.

There might be genuine Vaux/GM available for your car. They're the only flatblades I'd get.

Why would you only get genuine vaux wiper blades?

In my experience it's hit and miss with flat blades on cars not designed for them, some windscreens just aren't the correct shape and the flat blades don't sit right, some wiper arms don't put enough pressure on them to touch the whole screen.

If the sit flat on the screen they work the same as normal wipers though.

Bosch ones seem best or GM ones. I've tried most the other makes now too lol.

Bosch ones - go to wiperblades.co.uk - look up the model # for your car, then c&p that into eBay Usually listed for a random car but if it's the right part # you can usually save a few quid.

I got a pair of Goodyear flatblades for £12 from Costco and they're better than any blades, flat or normal i've had.
