Just to continue the replacement wiper blade theme
I'm planning on replacing my front ones. I have just measured the existing Bosch ones which don't seem very effective and probably need renewing before an imminent MOT. They are both 21". Most of the ones I've checked out seem to be 22" but did find these on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142240409...&ul_noapp=true Twin pack 21" and 22" and sound quite good if a little pricey. Checking out Eurocarparts they have Bosch Aeros for about £19 for one. So rather confused is having a set of two sizes a good idea or should they be both be 21" Any thoughts/experience? Thanks. Ray

22" drivers side 21" passenger side and I used Michelin Stealth on the ZT.
It's rained since I fitted them on Saturday, and they clear the screen effectively , and are nice and quiet Brian |

Hi Brian, thanks for comment yesterday. I've been looking for Stealth's and found it very hard to find them. Bosch are everywhere. Looked on Michelin's own website saying are can be bought from The Range stores No, not available. Yes found them online etc., could you tell me where you got yours please and a possible link? Many thanks, Ray

This is a good price for Michelin Stealth.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-M...sAAOSwGPxaM3co I got mine from my local Range but they no longer seem to stock them - now seem to sell just some cheaper ones. |

I'm a Bosch fan myself.
A slight aside but IMHO a great deal of the effectiveness of wipers is how clean the screen itself is. I've found a good starting point is this: Barkeepers friend in powder form, mixed to a paste with distilled (clear) vinegar. (https://www.johnlewis.com/bar-keeper...300ml/p3283874 & https://groceries.asda.com/product/m...-vinegar/19241 Apply quite generously, working in a circular motion. Leave to dry (like you do with Windowlene - which itself is pretty good). Polish off with a clean, dry cloth. The downside is there will be a lot of white dust/powder but it certainly shifts most road gunge for very little money and a bit of physical work. Good Luck. Andy.
