i think thats what there called....
the new blades that are creeping onto nearly all new cars.......the thick rubber ones.
would these be a direct replacement for standard blades, or a modified wiper arm?.
anyone got any yet?

They are crap though. They last about 500 miles and they are fucked.

Surely wiper blades are'nt mileage related. What if it does'nt rain?

It's not like you can count the number of times they cycle though is it.

They come with the new VX range as part of an aftersales profit increase. These wipers are expensive and you cant buy them in halfords 
We have been making a killing on them

I have them on my S3, they are brilliant. Loads better than normal wipers, and still work as good as new and they have done more than 500 miles.
