Genuine GM or Bosch?
Time to replace the ones on my C before I flog it on. Bosch are £21 + P&P, GM ones seem to be £26 unless anybody can find them cheaper?
Cheers,
Rich 
P.S - Any other suggestions welcome (apart from Halfrauds or Tesco ones lol)

Gone for Wiperblades.co.uk own brand in the end. True about cheapest if selling  But I've got it for another month or 2 yet so don't want it to be too crap! AutoExpress rate their blades ok though so will see how they are.
Cheers

Think I paid £28 for a pair from Halfords. Fucking things are crap where I live. They get wrecked as soon as a leaf happens to fall on the windscreen.

lol the GM ones I have atm are far better than standard blades - they've had pretty good "innings" too - lasted around 2.5 years now I think. Just smearing a lot now though and they look pretty worn out so need to replace them.

ebay cheapo ones i have been on mine about 2 years still work well. the lack of screeching noise across the screen makes them worth their money all day long.

I got some Flat Blades for my Fiesta, worked the bollocks for about a month then they went streaky as fuck. I'm presuming because they came in a chinese box I didn't buy very good ones because everyone raves on about them. They look much better too.

the flat one wear in the middle.
im sure its built into the design deliberatly
90% ive removed for replacement have failed in the middle.
the rest are sort of collapsed, for want of a better description the blade itself sits over to one side and is noisy and judders.

Buy some Carlac window sealant and you won't ever need to use your wipers again.
