There good but the eBay ones don't last to long and mine flap about a little when on the motorway, but better than normal wipers imo

Cheapo ones I have on my car have only lasted 6months I think, the centre of the blade has gone slack.

Thats exactly what I mean, And the issue I'm having atm, Always seems to be the drivers side too, Swapped mine for now but won't be long until the other one does the same.

The ones for Mrs Jambos clio where like £50-60 from the dealer which prompted my best John Macenroe. I got them from wipers.co.uk or whatever it is. £23 delivered and they are spot on.

Are they cheerful? Yes, they wipe the screen with a big smile on their face.
I use Bosch ones on all my vehicles. Last ages.
