So seen some kits for the aero wiper upgrade but at 197 of your finest new English pounds I thought, <beep> that!
But then a lone pass side arm came up on the egay for a reasonable 30 sheckles, brand new, so pulled the trigger on that and will need to hunt for the matching drivers side, or just find a clean used one if I can't find another new one.
What is the deal with blades though? Genuine oem blades are 67 quid, is this the norm?

Have seen Bosch areo twin thingamajigs for about 25 quid, anybody using these or are the genuine ones the better call?

Re: Wiper mod
I just bought a set of BOSCH AeroTwin blades for my RS for whole £12.83 from OpieOils(with discount) Previous set (exactly the same) had for 3 years without any major problems.

Re: Wiper mod
They're the retrofit blades, though. The allroad wiper arms look way smarter.
OP, Just get some allroad wipers from ECP or similar once you've got the arms on.

Re: Wiper mod
Will do, I'll look into it once I get the other arm sorted
Re: Wiper mod
sorry to dig this up, does anyone know the part number of the allroad wiper arms?
Re: Wiper mod
It's all in the FAQ.
