Lightspeed Clutched February 1, 2005 Share February 1, 2005 (edited) Soya, I just changed to Aero Wipers... Works a charm... My Duratech ones lying in the boot now The new S40T5 is using those aero wipers... You will need to change the arms as well... but there's no turning back now... Plus looks nice to me too See the product here http://www.boschautoparts.co.uk/pcWipe5.asp?c=2&d=1 Go get it... seriously!

Lightspeed Clutched February 1, 2005 Share February 1, 2005 The arms cost me $35 each, blades $22 each Worthwhile investment to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic February 1, 2005 Author Share February 1, 2005 walau, dem ex leh. NWB $9 each onli. looking at the aero wiper pix, it seems the flexibility of the blade (and hence, the ability to follow the curvature of the windscreen) itself could be the key to it's success. find that NWBs are oso quite thin and flexible, and maybe that's why it works. the duraedge rubbers are dem thick, so maybe that's why cannot flex and are hopeless.

Lightspeed Clutched February 1, 2005 Share February 1, 2005 You're right. It's flexible Perhaps you can ask SM how much to replace the arms... for VAG cars, they're OEM now... Saw the T5s come oem with them as well, no brick stockists around? [inline aero1.jpg] [inline aero2.jpg] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear February 1, 2005 Share February 1, 2005 Er..... the arms can change for any car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Clutched February 1, 2005 Share February 1, 2005 Well, Opel, Volvo, Audi, Skoda, Volkswagen are using these arms as OEM already... I might be wrong, but I seriously think that the arms can just be replaced for other cars as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
